Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To find sequence variants that associate with the risk for ischemic stroke (IS), we performed a genome-wide association study. METHODS: We genotyped 1,661 Icelandic IS patients and 10,815 control subjects using the Infinium HumanHap300 chip (Illumina, San Diego, CA). A total of 310,881 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were tested for association with IS, and the most significant signals were...
