Abstract excerpt
1. The present work summarizes current knowledge on the genetic susceptibility to stroke, a complex cardiovascular phenotypic trait due to both gene/environment and gene/ gene interactions. 2. Evidence for the existence of genes directly contributing to stroke occurrence was first obtained in the animal model of the stroke-prone (sp) spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) through a linkage analysis approach in F2...
