A recent study by Tietjen et al. [22], that investigated if angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and MTHFR gene variants are associated with von Willebrand factor (vWF) activity, an endothelial dysfunction marker, and with a distinct headache phenotype in premenopausal women with migraine, observed elevated vWF activity to be associated with the ACE DD genotype, which was highest when combined with the MTHFR TT genotype [22]. The gene discussed is ACE; the disease is endothelial dysfunction.
