Abstract
Giant intracranial aneurysms represent a very challenging aspect of aneurysmal pathophysiology with very high mortality and morbidity if left untreated. Their variety in clinical presentation (subarachnoid hemorrhage, cranial nerve palsy, etc.) and pathological and imaging properties (location, anatomy, presence of collateral circulation) pose serious questions regarding the best treatment option. Admirable advances have been achieved in surgical techniques, while endovascular modalities with flow diversion techniques have become widely used. However, there is still lack of data regarding whether a single endovascular technique can be the universal treatment for such cases. In this review, we aim to summarize the current funds of knowledge concerning giant intracranial aneurysms and the role of endovascular management in their treatment.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysms (IA) are local dilatations in cerebral arteries that predominantly affect the circle of Willis. Occurring in approximately 2-5% of adults, these weakened areas are susceptible to rupture, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of hemorrhagic stroke. Due to its early age of onset and poor prognosis, SAH accounts for > 25% of years lost for all stroke victims under the age of 65. In this review, we describe the cerebrovascular pathology associated with intracranial aneurysms. To understand IA genetics, we summarize syndromes with elevated incidence, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), whole exome studies on IA-affected families, and recent research that established definitive roles for Thsd1 (Thrombospondin Type 1 Domain Containing Protein 1) and Sox17 (SRY-box 17) in IA using genetically engineered mouse models. Lastly, we discuss the underlying molecular mechanisms of IA, including defects in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells caused by dysfunction in mechanotransduction, Thsd1/FAK (Focal Adhesion Kinase) signaling, and the Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) pathway. As illustrated by THSD1 research, cell adhesion may play a significant role in IA.

Abstract
Investigation of genetic susceptibility to cerebrovascular disease has been of growing interest. A systematic review of human studies assessing neurogenomic aspects of cerebrovascular disease was performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Any association study exploring genetic variants located in the exome associated with one of the major cerebrovascular diseases with at least 500 subjects was eligible for inclusion. Of 6874 manuscripts identified, 35 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies of interest focused on ischemic stroke and cerebrovascular occlusive disease. Large cohort genetic association studies on hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease were less common. In addition to rare, well-established monogenic conditions with significant risk for cerebrovascular disease, a number of genetic variants are also relevant to cerebrovascular pathogenesis as part of a multifactorial process. The 45 polymorphisms identified were located in genes involved in processes related to endothelial and vascular health (15 (33.4%) variants), plasma lipid metabolism (10 (22.2%) variants), inflammation (9 (20%) variants), coagulation (3 (6.7%) variants), and blood pressure modulation (2 (4.4%) variants), and other (6 (13.3%) variants). This work represents a comprehensive overview of genetic variants in the exome relevant to ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke pathophysiology.

Abstract
An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a weak or thin area on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons as it fills with blood. Genetic factors can influence the risk of developing an aneurism. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and IA in Kazakh population. The patients were genotyped for 60 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Genotyping was performed on the QuantStudio 12K Flex (Life Technologies). A linear regression analysis found 13 SNPs' significant association with development and rupture of IA: the rs1800956 polymorphism of the ENG gene, rs1756 46 polymorphism of the JDP2 gene, variant rs1800255 of the COL3A1, rs4667622 of the UBR3, rs2374513 of the c12orf75, rs3742321 polymorphism of the StAR, the rs3782356 polymorphism of MLL2 gene, rs3932338 to 214 kilobases downstream of PRDM9, rs7550260 polymorphism of the ARHGEF, rs1504749 polymorphism of the SOX17, the rs173686 polymorphism of CSPG2 gene, rs6460071 located on LIMK1 gene, and the rs4934 polymorphism of SERPINA3. A total of 13 SNPs were identified as potential genetic markers for the development and risk of rupture of aneurysms in the Kazakh population. Similar results were obtained after adjusting for the confounding factors of arterial hypertension and age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development, evolution and rupture of intracranial aneurysms are in part related to genetic factors. The role of collagen type-I a2 genetic polymorphisms has not been clarified yet. MATERIAL AND METHODS A meta-analysis was realized by means of a genotype model-fitting process (allele contrast, recessive, dominant, additive and co-dominant), and a model-free approach using the generalized odds ratio. The latter was assessed in association to the degree of dominance (h-index). RESULTS No statistically significant association was documented between EX28 G>C collagen type-I a2 variant and intracranial aneurysms (generalized odds ratio = 1.23, 95% confidence interval = 0.57, 2.63). Significant associations between INT46 T>G collagen type I a2 variant and intracranial aneurysms were documented in three models, the dominant [0.52 (0.38, 069)], the co-dominant [0.50 (0.32, 0.78)] and the allele contrast models [0.63 (0.49, 0.82)]. The generalized odds ratio was estimated to be as high as 1.94 (1.23, 3.06). The degree of dominance (h-index = -1.54) indicated that the TG genotype was characterized by lower risk of developing intracranial aneurysms compared to the TT genotype. CONCLUSIONS The available literature data demonstrated that there is no association of collagen type-(2a) and intracranial aneurysms, through EX28 G>C (rs42524) polymorphism according to the model-fitting process and the model-free approach. Regarding the INT46 T>G (rs2621215) polymorphisms, the latter models indicated that there could be a protective effect of the G-allele against the development of intracranial aneurysms. However, the majority of studies are from East Asia, therefore the results are applicable primarily to that patient population.
