Abstract excerpt
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified two common polymorphisms (rs12425791 and rs11833579) on chromosome 12p13 that confer risk to stroke, particularly for large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. However, these two polymorphisms are located ∼11 kb upstream of the NINJ2 gene and their effects on NINJ2 expression have not been well characterized. Through linkage disequilibrium and fine-mapping...
