It is currently unknown if common genetic variants influence the prognosis of patients with medication overuse headache (MOH). Here the role of two common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the COMT gene (rs4680 and rs6269), as well as the STin2 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the SLC6A4 gene, were evaluated as predictors for long-term outcomes of MOH patients after withdrawal therapy.

Abstract
It is currently unknown if common genetic variants influence the prognosis of patients with medication overuse headache (MOH). Here the role of two common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the COMT gene (rs4680 and rs6269), as well as the STin2 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the SLC6A4 gene, were evaluated as predictors for long-term outcomes of MOH patients after withdrawal therapy.
