The influence of genetics on intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture: current knowledge and its possible impact on future treatment.

Abstract excerpt

The etiology of intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture remains mostly unknown, but lately several studies have increasingly supported the role of genetic factors. In reports so far, genome-wide linkage studies suggest several susceptibility loci that may contain one or more predisposing genes. Depending on the examined ethnic population, several different non-matching chromosomal regions have been found....
