Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to subarachnoid haemorrhage, but little is known about which genes are involved. Recently, genome wide association studies have identified the 9p21 region as a risk locus for intracranial aneurysms (IA). The aim of the present study was to examine the possible association between 9p21 and ruptured IA--that is, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage...
