Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a genome-wide association study of intracranial aneurysms (IA), enrichment was found between genes associated with IA and genes encoding targets of effective anti-epileptic drugs. Our aim was to assess if this pleiotropy is driven by shared disease mechanisms that could potentially highlight a treatment strategy for IA. METHODS: Using 2-sample inverse-variance weighted Mendelian randomization and...
