Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous stroke-associated SNPs. To understand how SNPs affect gene expression related to increased stroke risk, we studied epigenetic landscapes surrounding 26 common, validated stroke-associated loci. Methods: We mapped the SNPs to linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks and examined H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K9ac, and H3K4me3 histone marks and...
