Advances in understanding stroke risk in children--a geneticist's view.

Abstract excerpt

The advent of the genomic era has provided novel insights into the genetic architecture of common complex diseases, such as thrombophilia and stroke. Since 2006, a growing number of genome wide association studies (GWAS) for common complex diseases have revealed new candidate loci and genomic regions that play an important role in disease aetiology and progression. While GWAS on the above mentioned traits are...
