Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors are known to have an important role in intracranial aneurysm (IA) pathogenesis. The purpose of this study is to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with IA in Japanese population. A total of 2050 IA patients and 1835 controls recruited in Biobank Japan, The University of Tokyo were used in this study. In all, 45 SNPs in 24 genes encoding proteins, which have been...
