Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke in Saudi Arabia arises in a highly consanguineous population with a distinctive genetic architecture, likely enriching rare coding variants that influence stroke risk. Yet the contribution of these variants to stroke susceptibility, age at onset, and subtype patterns in this setting remains incompletely defined. METHODS: We analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from 514 stroke patients...
