Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A locus containing the elastin gene has been linked to familial intracranial aneurysms in 2 distinct populations. We investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of SNPs in the elastin gene with the occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from sporadic aneurysms in the Netherlands. METHODS: We genotyped 167 SAH patients and 167 matching controls...
