Identifying the genetic link required even more detailed detective work. Rather than compare the rates of depression and migraine of the relatives to those of the general population, the study compared rates within this isolated population itself.

A brother and sister, for example, share many more genes than distantly related cousins. Comparing these relationships to the prevalence of both diseases enabled researchers to determine that it was genetics, not chance, that led to the association. (See "The Year...
...really understand about the general population by studying a single family in the Netherlands? "When you have an isolated population, your findings may not be true of the population at large," acknowledges Dr. Ellen Schur, an internist at the University of Washington, who has also studied the link between migraines and depression.
