A neuroprotective locus modulates ischemic stroke infarction independent of collateral vessel anatomy
2020-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Ischemic stroke is caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the brain leading to neuronal cell death. Genetic studies of ischemic stroke have identified numerous gene variants that increase the risk to develop stroke. In stark contrast, genetic studies of stroke outcomes, such as the infarct territory size, are confounded by many uncontrollable variables, leading to a paucity of gene targets for treatment of...
