Abstract excerpt
A significant linkage of intracranial aneurysm (IA) has recently been reported to chromosomal region 7q11 (MLS=3.22) in a genomic search of 85 Japanese nuclear families with at least two affected siblings (104 sib pairs). This region contains the elastin gene (ELN, OMIM 130160), which is a functional candidate gene for IA. We have replicated this finding through linkage analyses in 13 extended pedigrees from...
