Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin increase the risk of stroke and dementia. Despite strong WMH heritability, few gene associations have been identified. Relevant experimental models may be informative. METHODS: We tested the associations between genes that were differentially expressed in brains of young spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rats and human...
