Migraine is a neurovascular disorder, and hence, any alteration in vascular endothelial function by either the endothelin system or the apolipoproteins may contribute to its pathophysiology. Thus, we investigated the role of EDNRA -231 G>A and APOE HhaI polymorphism for a possible association with migraine. Genotyping of 613 subjects consisting of 217 migraine subjects, 217 healthy controls (HC), and 179 subjects with tension-type headache was performed using the standard PCR-RFLP method. Data were analyzed by taking the Bonferroni-corrected p-values into account. We found significant difference in the frequency of EDNRA AA genotype between migraine subjects when compared with HC (p-value = 0.005; OR = 2.542; confidence interval [CI] = 1.329-4.863). A similar trend was shown by female migraine subjects at genotype and allele levels. The association of EDNRA -231 G>A polymorphism with migraine fit a recessive model (migraine vs. HC, p-value = 0.002; OR = 1.917; CI = 2.268-2.898). Female migraineurs without aura (MO) followed a similar trend. In the case of APOE HhaI polymorphism, E3E4 and E2E3 genotypes conferred risk when taken together in case of migraine versus HC (p-value = 0.005; OR = 2.715; CI = 1.342-5.490) and migraine with aura (MA) versus HC (p-value = 0.004; OR = 3.422; CI = 7.992). The risk was also seen after stratification on the basis of gender in female migraineurs (total migraine and MA). The interaction of EDNRA and APOE genotypes did not show further significance. The AA genotype and A allele of EDNRA -231 G>A polymorphism conferred risk for total migraine and MO. In APOE HhaI polymorphism, E3E4 and E2E3 conferred risk when taken together in total migraine and MA.
