Abstract excerpt
We previously performed a genome-wide linkage study of intracranial aneurysm (IA) and found positive evidence of linkage at chromosomes 5q22-31, 7q11, and 14q22. In the present study, we focus on 5q31, where three candidate genes, fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1), fibrillin 2 (FBN2), and lysyl oxidase gene ( LOX) lie, and evaluate associations with IA. Genomic DNAs were obtained from 172 IA patients and 192...
