Although epilepsy and migraine are known to co-occur within individuals, the contribution of a shared genetic susceptibility to this comorbidity remains unclear. We investigated the hypothesis of shared genetic effects on migraine and epilepsy in the Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) cohort. We studied prevalence of a history of migraine in 730 EPGP participants aged ≥12 years with non-acquired focal epilepsy (NAFE) or generalized epilepsy (GE) from 501 families containing ≥2 individuals with epilepsy of unknown cause. Information on migraine without aura (MO) and migraine with aura (MA) was collected using an instrument validated for individuals ≥12 years. Since many individuals have both MO and MA, we considered two non-overlapping groups of individuals with migraine: those who met criteria for MA in any of their headaches (MA), and those who did not (“MO-only”). EPGP participants were interviewed about the history of seizure disorders in additional non-enrolled family members. We evaluated associations of migraine prevalence in enrolled subjects with family history of seizure disorders in additional non-enrolled relatives, using generalized estimating equations to control for the non-independence of observations within families. Prevalence of a history of MA (but not MO-only) was significantly increased in enrolled participants with ≥2 additional affected first degree relatives. These findings support the hypothesis of a shared genetic susceptibility to epilepsy and MA.
