Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke prevalence varies by sex and ancestry, which could be due to genetic heterogeneity between subgroups. We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of 16 biobanks across multiple ancestries to study the genetic contributions underlying ischemic stroke (60,176 cases, 1,310,725 controls) as part of th...
