OBJECTIVE: Observational studies point to an inverse correlation between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but it remains unclear whether this association is causal. We tested the hypothesis that genetically elevated LDL is associated with reduced risk of ICH. METHODS: We constructed one polygenic risk score (PRS) per lipid trait (total cholesterol, LDL,...
