Identification of Shared Genes Between Ischemic Stroke and Parkinson's Disease Using Genome-Wide Association Studies

Abstract excerpt

Ischemic stroke (IS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are two neurological diseases that often strike individuals of advanced age. Although thought of as a disease of old age, PD can occur in younger patients. In many of these cases, genetic mutations underlie the disease. As with PD, stroke can also have a genetic component. Although many of the risk factors for IS are considered to be modifiable, a significant...
