Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Previous studies have revealed multiple common variants associated with known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Ischemic stroke (IS) and CVD share several risk factors with each having substantial heritability. We aimed to generate a multi-locus genetic risk score (GRS) for IS based on CVD related SNPs to evaluate their combined effects on IS. METHODS: A total of 851 patients and 977...
