Heritability of Leukoaraiosis in Hypertensive Sibships

13 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

Ischemic damage to the subcortical white matter of the brain, referred to as leukoaraiosis, is a frequent complication of hypertension-related microvascular disease and contributes to the risk of stroke and vascular dementia. A large genetic contribution to this late-life form of target organ damage was suggested by a study of elderly male twins. As part of the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy...
