Abstract excerpt
The recent completion of the Human Genome Project provides the potential to advance our knowledge of pathogenesis and identify the gene(s) associated with particular diseases. However, using human DNA to correlate individual genomic variations with particular disorders such as stroke will be extremely challenging because of the large number of variables within an individual, and across different populations....
