Gene expression profiles of ischemic stroke clots retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy are associated with disease etiology

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Determining stroke etiology is crucial for secondary prevention, but intensive workups fail to classify ~30% of strokes that are cryptogenic. OBJECTIVE: To examine the hypothesis that the transcriptomic profiles of clots retrieved during mechanical thrombectomy are unique to strokes of different subtypes. METHODS: We isolated RNA from the clots of 73 patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy....
