Genetic associations of adult height with risk of cardioembolic and other subtypes of ischaemic stroke: a Mendelian randomisation study in multiple ancestries
2020-09-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Taller adult height is associated with lower risks of ischaemic heart disease in both observational and Mendelian randomisation studies, but little is known about the causal relevance of height for different subtypes of ischaemic stroke and the mechanisms involved. <h4>Methods</h4> Height-associated genetic variants (up to 2,931) from previous genome-wide association studies were used to constr...
