Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability worldwide. However, how the prevalence of stroke varies across the world is uncertain. AIMS The aim of this study was to analyze temporal trends of prevalence for stroke, including ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) at the global, regional, and national levels. METHODS The age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) of stroke, IS, ICH, and SAH, along with their corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), were derived from data in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. This provides estimates for the burden of 369 diseases and injuries globally in 2019, as well as their temporal trends over the past 30 years. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the 1990-2019 temporal trends by calculating the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC), as well as their 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS In 2019, the global ASPR of stroke was 1240.263 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 1139.711 to 1352.987), with ASPRs generally lower in Europe compared to other regions. Over the period from 1990 to 2019, a significant global decrease in ASPR was observed for stroke (AAPC -0.200, 95% CI: -0.215 to -0.183), IS (AAPC -0.059%, 95% CI: -0.077 to -0.043), SAH (AAPC -0.476, 95% CI: -0.483 to -0.469), and ICH (AAPC -0.626, 95% CI: -0.642 to -0.611). The trends of ASPR of stroke, IS, SAH, and ICH varied significantly across 204 countries and territories. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight significant global disparities in stroke prevalence, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and intensified efforts in developing regions to reduce the global burden of stroke.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of stoke involves many complex pathways and risk factors. Though there are several ongoing studies on stroke, treatment options are limited, and the prevalence of stroke is continuing to increase. Understanding the genomic variants and biological pathways associated with stroke could offer novel therapeutic alternatives in terms of drug targets and receptor modulations for newer treatment methods. It is challenging to identify individual causative mutations in a single gene because many alleles are responsible for minor effects. Therefore, multiple factorial analyses using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could be used to gain new insight by identifying potential genetic risk factors. There are many studies, such as Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and Phenome-Wide Association Studies (PheWAS) which have identified numerous independent loci associated with stroke, which could be instrumental in developing newer drug targets and novel therapies. Additionally, using analytical techniques, such as meta-analysis and Mendelian randomization could help in evaluating stroke risk factors and determining treatment priorities. Combining SNPs into polygenic risk scores and lifestyle risk factors could detect stroke risk at a very young age and help in administering preventive interventions.

Platelet Endothelial Aggregation Receptor 1 Polymorphism Is Associated With Functional Outcome in Small-Artery Occlusion Stroke Patients Treated With Aspirin. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:664012. [PMID: 34540909 PMCID: PMC8440843 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.664012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The role of genetic polymorphisms is important in defining the patient's prognosis and outcomes in coronary artery disease. The present study aimed to explore the association between platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 (PEAR1) rs12041331 polymorphism and the outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with aspirin or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel. Methods: A total of 868 ischemic stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 1, 2016 to December 30, 2018 were retrospectively studied. The Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification defined stroke subtypes. These patients were treated with aspirin alone or DAPT. The genotype distribution of PEAR1 rs12041331 single-nucleotide polymorphism (AA, AC, and CC) between different TOAST subtypes and treatment groups was assessed, and the clinical impact of genetic variants on functional outcomes defined by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, modified Rankin Scale, and Barthel Index was analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: Among the 868 stroke patients, the PEAR1 AA genotype was 16%, GA was 47%, and GG was 36%. Forty-four percent had aspirin alone, and 56% had DAPT. Overall, the distribution of PEAR single-nucleotide polymorphism was not significant among the two treatment groups or subtypes of TOAST. In contrast, in patients treated with aspirin alone, PEAR1 AA tended to be higher in the small-artery occlusion (SAO) subtype when compared with the no-lacunar subtype, including cardioembolism and large-artery atherosclerosis. PEAR1 AA genotype was significantly associated with favorable functional outcomes at day 7 and discharge only in SAO patients treated with aspirin alone compared with the GG genotype. Multivariate regression models further suggested that AA genotype was independently associated with favorable outcomes in this group after being adjusted for three common stroke risk factors such as age, hypertension history, and C-reactive protein level [odds ratio (OR) 0.23, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.07–0.64, P = 0.02 for 7-day National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; OR 0.2, 95% CI, 0.06–0.66, P = 0.03 for 7-day modified Rankin Scale, and OR 0.25, 95% CI, 0.08–0.72, P = 0.03 for 7-day Barthel Index, respectively]. Conclusion: The impact of PEAR1 rs12041331 polymorphism on aspirin depends on the TOAST subtype. PEAR1 AA carrier with SAO stroke is most sensitive to aspirin therapy. PEAR1 AA is an independent factor for the short-term functional outcomes in SAO patients treated with aspirin alone. Clinical Registration Number: 1800019911.

Abstract
Stroke is the second largest cause of death worldwide. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene has emerged as an important player in the pathogenesis of hypertension and consequently stroke. It encodes ACE enzyme that converts the inactive decapeptide angiotensin I to active octapeptide, angiotensin II (Ang II). Dysregulation in the expression of ACE gene, on account of genetic variants or regulation by miRNAs, alters the levels of ACE in the circulation. Variable expression of ACE affects the levels of Ang II. Ang II acts through different signal transduction pathways via various tyrosine kinases (receptor/non-receptor) and protein serine/threonine kinases, initiating a downstream cascade of molecular events. In turn these activated molecular pathways might lead to hypertension and inflammation thereby resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases including stroke. In order to regulate the overexpression of ACE, many ACE inhibitors and blockers have been developed, some of which are still under clinical trials.

Abstract
Aims Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most common diseases of neurology and the main cause of death and disability in Chinese population. CACNA1C was considered to be involved in the process of atherosclerosis, but there was little information about the association between genotypic polymorphisms of CACNA1C and ischemic stroke. Our study was designed to elucidate the relationship between four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) variants in CACNA1C gene and the risk of large-artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke patients. Methods A total of 384 subjects were enrolled in this study, including 192 LAA stroke cases and 192 healthy controls. And four SNPs variants in CNCNA1C gene were genotyped using in-house developed multiplex tagged-amplicon deep sequencing (TAm-Seq). Statistical analysis were conducted using χ2 test and binary logistic regression analysis. Results We found one variant was significantly associated with LAA stroke in the allele models (rs10848683, p = 0.036, OR = 1.371, 95%CI: 1.021-1.841). And rs10848683 was also found to associate with LAA stroke under recessive model (p = 0.027, OR = 0.618, 95% CI: 0.403-0.947) after adjustment for gender and age. We also found that significant difference existed between haplotypes (rs229961-rs215976-rs216008-rs10848683) and LAA stroke (C-T-C-C, p = 0.017, OR = 2.265, 95%CI: 1.136-4.518; G-C-C-C, p = 0.046, OR = 1.891, 95% CI: 1.003-3.565; C-T-C-T, p = 0.001, OR = 0.256, 95%CI: 0.101-0.645). Conclusion The results suggested that there was a potential association between CNCNA1C gene and the risk factor of LAA stroke in Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Thromboxane A synthase 1 (TBXAS1) catalyses the synthesis of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Thus, the TBXAS1 gene was investigated as a candidate gene involved in the formation of atherosclerosis. This case-control study collected peripheral blood specimens and clinical data of 370 ischemic stroke patients and 340 healthy controls in the Northern Chinese Han population from October 2010 to May 2011. Two TBXAS1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs2267682 and rs10487667, were analyzed using a SNaPshot Multiplex sequencing assay to explore the relationships between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in TBXAS1 and ischemic stroke. The TT genotype frequency and T allele frequency of rs2267682 in the patients with ischemic stroke were significantly higher than those in the controls (P < 0.01 and P = 0.02). Furthermore, compared with the GG + GT genotype, the TT rs2267682 genotype was associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (odds ratio (OR) = 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16–2.79, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic analysis with adjustments for confounding factors revealed that rs2267682 was still associated with ischemic stroke (OR = 1.94, 95% CI : 1.13–3.33, P = 0.02). The frequency of the T-G haplotype in the patients was significantly higher than that in the controls according haplotype analysis (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.10–2.00, P < 0.01). These data reveal that the rs2267682 TBXAS1 polymorphism is associated with ischemic stroke. The TT genotype of TBXAS1 and T allele of rs2267682 increase susceptibility to ischemic stroke in this Northern Chinese Han population. The protocol has been registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR-COC-17013559).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is determined by similar genomic and environmental risk factors with stroke, or is simply an intermediate stroke marker, is unknown. OBJECTIVES We present a research plan and preliminary findings to explore the overlap in the genomic and environmental determinants of LVH and stroke among Africans participating in the SIREN (Stroke Investigative Research and Education Network) study. METHODS SIREN is a transnational, multicenter study involving acute stroke patients and age-, ethnicity-, and sex-matched control subjects recruited from 9 sites in Ghana and Nigeria. Genomic and environmental risk factors and other relevant phenotypes for stroke and LVH are being collected and compared using standard techniques. RESULTS This preliminary analysis included only 725 stroke patients (mean age 59.1 ± 13.2 years; 54.3% male). Fifty-five percent of the stroke subjects had LVH with greater proportion among women (51.6% vs. 48.4%; p < 0.001). Those with LVH were younger (57.9 ± 12.8 vs. 60.6 ± 13.4; p = 0.006) and had higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (167.1/99.5 mm Hg vs 151.7/90.6 mm Hg; p < 0.001). Uncontrolled blood pressure at presentation was prevalent in subjects with LVH (76.2% vs. 57.7%; p < 0.001). Significant independent predictors of LVH were age <45 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14 to 3.19), female sex (AOR: 2.01; 95% CI: 1.44 to 2.81), and diastolic blood pressure > 90 mm Hg (AOR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.39 to 3.19; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of LVH was high among stroke patients especially the younger ones, suggesting a genetic component to LVH. Hypertension was a major modifiable risk factor for stroke as well as LVH. It is envisaged that the SIREN project will elucidate polygenic overlap (if present) between LVH and stroke among Africans, thereby defining the role of LVH as a putative intermediate cardiovascular phenotype and therapeutic target to inform interventions to reduce stroke risk in populations of African ancestry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antioxidants are responsible for detoxification of harmful effects of reactive oxygen species. Genetic factors may influence antioxidant activity as a result of polymorphisms on antioxidant enzymes. These polymorphisms can be risk in ischemic stroke (IS) risk. IS is a disorder with genetic and environmental factors contributing to overall risk. Although a few studies have been conducted, there have been no reports on catalase (CAT C262T), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD Ala16Val) and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1 Pro198Leu) gene polymorphisms and IS risk. METHODS We aimed to perform a case-control study to increase the awareness of the impact of oxidative stress (OS) gene polymorphism in the development of IS. A restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction was used to determine genotypes. The interactions between genes and smoking and possible risk factors were evaluated. RESULTS An approximately four-fold higher IS risk was found in patients with the Val allele compared to the Ala allele. Smoking was a risk factor in the development of IS for CAT TT and MnSOD Ala/Val genotypes; we found a 3.5- to 5.5-fold higher IS risk in CAT TT and MnSOD Ala/Val genotypes. Different logistic regression models were performed for possible risk factors (smoking, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein and diabetes mellitus). The IS risk increases statistically significant only with age by multiple logistic regression analysis. CAT gene polymorphisms in IS patients were not different from controls. CONCLUSIONS It is unlikely that CAT and GPX1 single nucleotide polymorphisms are risk factors for IS. The results of the present study show that smoking may be a risk factor for IS risk in patients with MnSOD mutant genotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is one of the most common diseases with a high burden of neurological deficits, disability and death. Zinc finger protein 208 (ZNF208) was found to be involved in coronary heart disease, although little information is available about its association with ischemic stroke. We performed the present case-control study to clarify the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within ZNF208 and the risk of ischemic stroke in a southern Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 799 subjects (400 cases and 399 healthy controls) were enrolled in the present study. Five SNPs within ZNF208 gene were selected and genotyped using Sequenom MassARRY technology (Sequenom, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Data management and statistical analyses were conducted using Sequenom Typer, version 4.0, and a chi-squared test, as well as unconditional logistic regression. RESULTS Statistical results showed that three variants were associated with the risk of ischemic stroke under allele models (rs2188971, rs2188972, rs8103163 and rs7248488). The variant rs2188972 was also associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in a recessive model after adjustment for age and sex. Haplotype analysis suggested that a significant difference existed between the Ars2188972 Trs2188971 Ars8103163 Ars7248488 haplotype and the risk of ischemic stroke, although this disappeared after adjustment for sex and age. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained in the present study indicate a potential association between ZNF208 variants and the risk of ischemic risk in a southern Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Stroke remains the fifth leading cause of mortality in the United States with an annual rate of over 128,000 deaths per year. Differences in incidence, pathogenesis, and clinical outcome have long been noted when comparing ischemic stroke among different ethnicities. The observation that racial disparities exist in clinical outcomes after stroke has resulted in genetic studies focusing on specific polymorphisms. Some studies have focused on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are a ubiquitous group of proteins with extensive roles that include extracellular matrix remodeling and blood-brain barrier disruption. MMPs play an important role in ischemic stroke pathophysiology and clinical outcome. This review will evaluate the evidence for associations between polymorphisms in MMP-1, 2, 3, 9, and 12 with ischemic stroke incidence, pathophysiology, and clinical outcome. The role of polymorphisms in MMP genes may influence the presentation of ischemic stroke and be influenced by racial and ethnic background. However, contradictory evidence for the role of MMP polymorphisms does exist in the literature, and further studies will be necessary to consolidate our understanding of these multi-faceted proteins.

Influence of the Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene -765G/C and -1195G/A Polymorphisms on Development of Ischemic Stroke. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2016; 25:2126-35. [PMID: 27363623 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2016.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2016] [Revised: 05/16/2016] [Accepted: 06/02/2016] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have investigated the association between the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke. However, results of these studies still remain controversial. To better explain the association between COX-2 polymorphisms (-765G/C and -1195G/A) and ischemic stroke risk, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS Relevant studies were identified from 4 Chinese databases (Chinese Biological Medical Literature database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure database, Chongqing VIP database, and Chinese WANFANG database), PUBMED and EMBASE prior to December 2015. The strength of association between COX-2 polymorphism and ischemic stroke was evaluated by the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Inconsistency index (I(2)) and the Cochran's Q statistic were used to check heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by funnel plots and Egger's regression test. RESULTS A total of 4086 ischemic stroke cases and 4747 controls were identified. Significant association between COX-2 -765G/C polymorphism and the risk of ischemic stroke was found in Brazilians and the African-Americans. The OR of (CC+GC versus GG) for the Brazilians and African-Americans were (6.328, 95% CI = 2.295-17.448) and (1.644, 95% CI = 1.060-2.551). In addition, the recessive model of the Brazilians gave an OR of 3.621 (95% CI: 1.519-8.630). Furthermore, the (GC versus GG) and the allele model of the African-Americans were (OR: 1.615, 95% CI = 1.015-2.572) and (OR: 1.422, 95% CI = 1.033-1.957). Significant association was also observed for COX-2 -1195G/A polymorphism in the subtypes of small vessel disease (SVD) of ischemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that COX-2 -765G/C and -1195G/A polymorphisms may contribute to susceptibility of ischemic stroke, specifically in Brazilians and the African-Americans, and those of SVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) remains a major cause of death and a leading cause of disability worldwide. CeVD is a complex and multifactorial disease caused by the interaction of vascular risk factors, environment, and genetic factors. In the present article, we discussed genetic susceptibility to CeVD, with particular emphasis on genetic studies of the associations between lipid traits and CeVD. RECENT FINDINGS Several animal and clinical studies clearly defined genetic predisposition to atherosclerosis and CeVD, and particularly to ischemic stroke. Recent evidence has shown that traditional vascular risk factors explain only a small proportion of variance in atherosclerosis, suggesting that additional nontraditional factors and novel genetic determinants impact CeVD. With the help of genome-wide technology, novel genetic variants have been implicated in CeVD and lipid metabolism such as those in protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene in stroke and familial hypercholesterolemia. These studies are important as they contribute to our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying CeVD and to developing more effective CeVD prevention strategies. SUMMARY CeVD is a complex and multifactorial disease and genetics likely plays an important role in its pathogenesis. The gene-gene and gene-environment interactions of genes involved in biology of vascular disease, including the lipid metabolism are important factors for individual susceptibility to CeVD. Accounting for individual variation in genes, environment and lifestyle will bring us closer to precision medicine, which is an emerging and recently introduced new approach for disease treatment and prevention in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2293054 [Ile734Ile], rs1047735 [His902His], rs2293044 [Val1353Val], rs2682826 (3'UTR) of nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) are associated with the development and clinical phenotypes of ischemic stroke. Methods We enrolled 120 ischemic stroke patients and 314 control subjects. Ischemic stroke patients were divided into subgroups according to the scores of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Survey (NIHSS, <6 and ≥6) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI, <60 and ≥60). SNPStats, SNPAnalyzer, and HelixTree programs were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and p-values. Multiple logistic regression models were performed to analyze genetic data. Results No SNPs of the NOS1 gene were found to be associated with ischemic stroke. However, in an analysis of clinical phenotypes, we found that rs2293054 was associated with the NIHSS scores of ischemic stroke patients in codominant (p=0.019), dominant (p=0.007), overdominant (p=0.033), and log-additive (p=0.0048) models. Also, rs2682826 revealed a significant association in the recessive model (p=0.034). In allele frequency analysis, we also found that the T alleles of rs2293054 were associated with lower NIHSS scores (p=0.007). Respectively, rs2293054 had a significant association in the MBI scores of ischemic stroke in codominant (p=0.038), dominant (p=0.031), overdominant (p=0.045), and log-additive (p=0.04) models. Conclusion These results suggest that NOS1 may be related to the clinical phenotypes of ischemic stroke in Korean population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms of G174C and C572G in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter gene can affect both transcription and secretion of IL-6 and may be involved in inflammation related to and pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). Whether these IL-6 gene polymorphisms are risk factors for IS or not, remains controversial. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the association between IL-6 G174C and C572G gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to ischemic stroke in North Indian Population. METHODS Two hundred and fifty IS patients and 250 age- and sex-matched controls were studied. Genotyping was performed using SNaPshot method. Stroke was classified using Trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment classification. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the strength of association between IL-6 (G174C and C572G) polymorphisms and risk of IS. RESULTS Hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, alcohol, smoking, family history of stroke, sedentary life style and low socioeconomic status were found to be associated with the risk of IS. Conditional logistic regression analysis showed a significant association of IL-6 G174C with the risk of IS under dominant model (OR, 1.61; 95%CI, 1.0-2.4; P value 0.02) and allelic model (OR, 1.5; 95%CI, 1.0-2.1; P value 0.02). For IL-6 C572G, multivariate adjusted analysis showed a significant association with the risk of IS under dominant model for overall IS (OR, 1.81; 95%CI, 1.04-3.15; P value 0.03) and small vessel disease subtype of IS (OR, 2.8; 95%CI, 1.3-6.0; P value 0.006). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that IL-6 (G174C) polymorphism is significantly associated with the risk of IS in North Indian population. However, IL-6 (C572G) polymorphism is found significantly associated with the risk of IS after adjusting the demographic and risk factors variables. Prospective studies with large sample size are required for independent validation. Our findings could be helpful in identifying individuals at increased risk for developing IS.

Abstract
One in six people worldwide will experience a stroke in his/her lifetime. While people in Africa carry a disproportionately higher burden of poor stroke outcomes, compared to the rest of the world, the exact contribution of genomic factors to this disparity is unknown. Despite noteworthy research into stroke genomics, studies exploring the genetic contribution to stroke among populations of African ancestry in the United States are few. Furthermore, genomics data in populations living in Africa are lacking. The wide genomic variation of African populations offers a unique opportunity to identify genomic variants with causal relationships to stroke across different ethnic groups. The Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN), a component of the Human Health and Heredity in Africa (H3Africa) Consortium, aims to explore genomic and environmental risk factors for stroke in populations of African ancestry in West Africa and the United States. In this article, we review the literature on the genomics of stroke with particular emphasis on populations of African origin.

Abstract
Background Genetic factors may play a role in the susceptibility of Ischemic stroke (IS). Previous studies have shown that Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms were associated with the risk of IS in multiple ethnicities. The present case–control study tested the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms of the TNF-α gene may affect the risk of IS in North Indian population. We investigated the association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (− 308G/A, + 488G/A, − 857C/T and -1031 T/C) within TNF-α gene promoter and their haplotypes with the risk of IS. Methods IS was classified using the Trial of Org 10,172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification. Genotyping was performed for 250 IS patients and 250 age- and sex-matched IS free controls by using SNaPshot technique. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control the confounding effects of demographic and risk factor variables. Haplotype analyses were done by using PHASE software and Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analyses were done by using Haploview version 4.2 software. Results An independent association between TNF-α + 488G/A (OR = 2.59; 95%CI 1.46 to 4.60; p = 0.001) and -857C/T (OR = 1.77; 95%CI 1.01 to 3.11; p < 0.04) and risk of IS was observed under dominant model. However, no significant association between -308G/A and -1031 T/C gene polymorphisms and risk of IS was observed. Haplotype analysis showed that A308-G488-C857-T1031 haplotypes were significantly associated with the increased risk of IS [OR = 1.66; 95%CI 1.02 to 2.71; p = 0.003]. Strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) was observed for + 488G/A and -857C/T (D’ = 0.41, r2 = 0.004). Conclusions Two SNPs (+ 488G/A and -857C/T) of TNF-α gene and their haplotypes are significantly associated with the risk of IS in the population enrolled from North India. Our findings indicate that polymorphisms and haplotypes of TNF-α gene may be used as a genetic marker for identifying individuals at increased risk for developing IS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have demonstrated an association between eNOS polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine whether eNOS polymorphisms are associated with AF recurrence after a radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 500 consecutive patients (56±11 years, 77% male) with paroxysmal (68%) or persistent (32%) AF who underwent RFCA and 500 age, gender-matched controls were genotyped for the eNOS3 single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1799983). AF recurrence was monitored according to 2012 ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines. RESULTS The frequencies of the rs1799983 variant alleles (T) in the case and control group were not significantly different (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.75-1.46, p=0.798). AF patients with rs1799983 variants were more likely to have coronary artery disease or stroke than those without genetic variant at this gene (31.0% vs. 17.3%, p=0.004). During mean 17 months follow-up, early recurrence of AF (ERAF; within 3 months) and clinical recurrence (CR) of AF were 31.8% and 24.8%, respectively. The rs1799983 variant was associated with higher risk of ERAF (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.06-2.79, p=0.028), but not with CR. ERAF occurred earlier (11±16 days) in variant group than those without variant allele (20±25 days, p=0.016). A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that presence of the rs1799983 variant (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.07-2.86, p=0.026) and persistent AF were independent predictors for ERAF after AF ablation. CONCLUSION The rs1799983 variant of the eNOS3 gene was associated with ERAF, but not with CR, after RFCA. eNOS3 gene variants may have a potential role for stratification of post-ablation management.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2015; 24:1577-90.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several investigations have been performed to examine the influence of the β-fibrinogen (FGβ) gene polymorphisms on the risk of ischemic stroke, but the results of these studies are controversial. Our study aimed at investigating whether the FGβ gene (-148 C/T, 448 G/A, and -854 G/A) polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to ischemic stroke by conducting meta-analysis. METHODS Relevant studies were identified from 4 Chinese databases, PUBMED and EMBASE before May 30, 2014. The strength of association was evaluated by the odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Inconsistency index and the Cochran's Q statistic were used to check heterogeneity. Publication bias was tested using funnel plots and Egger's regression test. RESULTS Thirty-two independent studies with 4311 cases and 4124 controls were included. Significant association between -148 C/T polymorphism and the risk of ischemic stroke was found in overall analysis and middle-age, but not in young adults and elderly people. Similarly, association was also observed for -854 G/A polymorphism, especially in cerebral arterial main trunk infarction (MCI) and cerebral penetrating arterial infarction (PCI). However, no significance was found between 448 G/A polymorphism and ischemic stroke in Chinese people; likewise, no evidence of a significant association was observed when stratified according to the subtype of ischemic stroke (MCI and PCI). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that -148 C/T and -854 G/A polymorphisms probably contribute to susceptibility of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous genetic risk factors of ischemic stroke (IS) have been reported from both candidate gene and genome-wide strategies with inconsistent results. The objective of this study was to confirm the relationship between 10 previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and IS in the Chinese population. METHODS A family-based study was conducted in a rural area of Beijing, with a total of 227 IS families with 622 participants recruited. Both linkage and association analyses were performed, with all the sibling pairs derived from the 227 families analyzed using the sib-pair test of model-free linkage to assess linkage between SNPs and IS, with association analyses including a family-based association test (FBAT) and generalized estimating equations (GEE). RESULTS Nonparametric linkage analysis revealed that the rs1800796 polymorphism in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene is significantly linked to the small arterial occlusion (SAO) subtype (p=0.022), while the rs7193343 polymorphism in the ZFHX3 gene is linked to IS (p=0.002) under the dominant model. Significant allelic associations were identified between the G allele of rs1800796 and IS (p=0.042) and the SAO subtype (p=0.025) in the FBAT. The GEE method revealed that the G allele of rs1800796 increased IS risk by 1.55-fold (95% 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 2.37; p=0.043) and 2.43-fold (95% CI: 1.32, 4.45; p=0.004) in the SAO subtype in the dominant model, which correlated with the significant associations detected in the FBAT. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we confirmed that the SNP of rs1800796 in the IL-6 gene is related to IS and the SAO subtype using different statistical approaches. These findings could contribute to identifying individuals with a high IS risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variations of the 5-lipoxygenase activating protein and leukotriene A4 hydrolase genes that confer an increased risk of ischemic stroke have implicated the family of leukotrienes as potential mediators of ischemic stroke. This study aimed to explore the association of ALOX5, LTA4H and LTC4S gene polymorphisms with ischemic stroke risk in a cohort of Chinese in east China. METHODS This case-control study consisted of 690 patients with ischemic stroke and 690 controls. Polymorphisms of ALOX5 rs2029253 A/G, LTA4H rs6538697 T/C, and LTC4S rs730012 A/C were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to exclude the effects of conventional risk factors on ischemic stroke. RESULTS Carriers of C allele in rs730012 were more susceptible to ischemic stroke (OR: 1.37; 95%CI: 1.08-1.73; P=0.009). The rs2029253 GG genotype showed a risk-reducing effect on ischemic stroke (OR: 0.72; 95%CI: 0.55-0.93; P=0.013) while the rs6538697 CC genotype had an increased risk of ischemic stroke (OR: 1.77; 95%CI: 1.09-2.89; P=0.022). The rs730012 variant was not associated with ischemic stroke risk after adjusting confounding factors (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The present study suggested that gene polymorphisms in the leukotrienes pathway may exert influences, with independent genetic effects, on ischemic stroke susceptibility in a cohort of Chinese in east China.

Abstract
The Basigin (BSG, also known as CD147/extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). It is a cellular receptor for cyclophilin A (CypA), and is originally known as tumor cell collagenase stimulatory factor (TCSF), which could abundantly expressed on the surface of tumor cells, haematopoietic, monocytes, epithelial endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Accumulating evidence showed that BSG played an important role in stimulating the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which has been reported to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Since atherosclerosis is an important risk factor for atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI), we speculate that BSG genetic polymorphisms may influence formation of atherosclerosis and then development of ACI. This study aimed to detect the potential association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP, -631 G > T, -318 G > C, 10141 G > A and 10826 G > A) of BSG gene in Hunan Han Chinese population with ACI. We genotyped 199 ACI patients and 188 matched healthy controls for the four BSG SNP by method of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-offlight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Our results suggested that all the polymorphisms were observed in the subjects from Changsha area of Hunan Province. However, no significant difference was observed between the distribution of these SNP in cases and controls. Therefore, we speculate that BSG genetic polymorphisms might not be an important factor in the development of ACI in our Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene SG13S114 polymorphism is associated with risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the results remain inconclusive even in Chinese population. A meta-analysis of 10 case-control studies was conducted on the relationship between ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism and susceptibility to IS in Chinese population published domestically and abroad from September 2007 to December 2012. Data were extracted by two authors and pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Meta-analysis results showed that the significant association between SG13S114 variant and IS was found under the allelic (OR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96, P=0.004), dominant (OR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.62-0.92, P=0.005), and recessive (OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.82-0.97, P=0.005) genetic models in Chinese population. In subgroup meta-analysis, SG13S114 variant and atherothrombotic stroke, rather than lacunar stroke, showed the significant association under the allelic (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.80-0.92, P<0.0001), dominant (OR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.91, P=0.006), and recessive (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.95, P=0.002) models. ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to IS in Chinese population.

Abstract
Cerebral infarction (CI) is a complex multifactorial disorder that is thought to result from the interaction of various environmental factors and an individual's genetic make-up, including genes associated with platelet activation. In order to clarify whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the prostacyclin receptor (IP) gene affects platelet activation in ischemic stroke, we investigated the relationship between platelet function and genetic polymorphism of the coding sequence of the IP gene in 64 Japanese patients with CI and 54 healthy subjects. We determined the entire nucleotide sequence of the IP gene in healthy Japanese subjects, and found that an adenine (A) to cytosine (C) substitution at base 984 (A984C) in exon 3 is the most frequent SNP. Using flow cytometry, the power-transformed mean percentage of PAC-1-positive platelets, [PAC-1](1/3), was significantly higher in healthy subjects with the C/C genotype than in healthy subjects with the A/A genotype (p ≤ 0.05), although there was no significant difference in patients with CI between these two genotypes. Furthermore, we genotyped 158 control patients and 106 patients with CI. The homozygous C/C genotype was more frequently found in the CI group (46.2%) than in the healthy control group (17.1%; p < 0.001). The present report is the first to show an association between the A984C polymorphism of the IP gene and platelet activation in Japanese subjects. This polymorphism may be clinically significant in disorders in which prostacyclin plays a key role, such as CI.

Abstract
Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke. This study was aimed to explore the association of ALOX5AP variants with ischemic stroke risk in Han Chinese of eastern China. A total of 690 ischemic stroke cases and 767 controls were recruited. The subjects were further subtyped according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria. On the basis of that, two polymorphisms of the ALOX5AP gene (rs10507391 and rs12429692) were determined by TaqMan genotyping assay. In addition, plasma leukotriene B4 (LTB4) levels were analyzed in these subjects. There was no evidence of association between the two variants of ALOX5AP and the risk of ischemic stroke or its TOAST-subtypes. Haplotype analysis and stratification analysis according to sex, age, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes also showed negative association. Analysis of LTB4 levels in a subset of cases and controls revealed that LTB4 levels were significantly higher in ischemic stroke cases than in the controls (70.06±14.75 ng/L vs 57.34±10.93 ng/L; P = 0.000) and carriers of the T allele of the rs10507391 variant were associated with higher plasma LTB4 levels (P = 0.000). The present study suggests there is no association of the two polymorphisms in the ALOX5AP gene with ischemic stroke risk in Han Chinese of eastern China.

Abstract
Arachidonate lipoxygenase (ALOX) enzymes metabolize arachidonic acid to generate potent inflammatory mediators and play an important role in inflammation-associated diseases. We investigated associations between colorectal cancer risk and polymorphisms in ALOX5, FLAP, ALOX12, and ALOX15, and their interactions with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. We genotyped fifty tagSNPs, one candidate SNP, and two functional promoter variable nucleotide tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms in three US population-based case-control studies of colon cancer (1,424 cases/1,780 controls), rectal cancer (583 cases/775 controls), and colorectal adenomas (485 cases/578 controls). Individuals with variant genotypes of the ALOX5 VNTR had a decreased risk of rectal cancer, with the strongest association seen for individuals with one or more alleles of >5 repeats (wild type = 5, OR>5/≥5 = 0.42, 95% CI 0.20-0.92; P = 0.01). Four SNPs in FLAP (rs17239025), ALOX12 (rs2073438), and ALOX15 (rs4796535 and rs2619112) were associated with rectal cancer risk at P ≤ 0.05. One SNP in FLAP (rs12429692) was associated with adenoma risk. A false discovery rate (FDR) was applied to account for false positives due to multiple testing; the ALOX15 associations were noteworthy at 25% FDR. Colorectal neoplasia risk appeared to be modified by NSAID use in individuals with variant alleles in FLAP and ALOX15. One noteworthy interaction (25% FDR) was observed for rectal cancer. Genetic variability in ALOXs may affect risk of colorectal neoplasia, particularly for rectal cancer. Additionally, genetic variability in FLAP and ALOX15 may modify the protective effect of NSAID use against colorectal neoplasia.

Abstract
This study was aimed to explore the association of genetic variation in members of the leukotrienes biosynthesis pathway as potential mediators with ischemic stroke (IS) risk in Eastern Han Chinese. A case-control study of was conducted with five selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the single-locus analysis, carriers of C allele of rs730012 in LTC4S were more susceptible to IS (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02-1.60; P=0.033). Under the recessive genetic model, ALOX5 rs2029253 variant reduced IS risk (adjusted OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.60-1.00; P=0.048) while LTA4H rs6538697 and LTC4S rs730012 variants increased (adjusted OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.04-2.64; P=0.032 and adjusted OR, 3.63; 95% CI, 1.01-13.05; P=0.048, respectively). However, there was no evidence of association between all five SNPs and IS risk after correction for multiple testing. In combined analysis of multiple genes and loci, individuals with ALOX5AP rs12429692 T allele, ALOX5 rs2029253 A allele, and LTA4H rs6538697 C allele suggested a significantly increased susceptibility to IS (adjusted OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.07-2.69; P=0.024). The present study suggested gene-gene interactions in leukotrienes pathway could exert influences on the risk of IS.

Abstract
The genetic architecture of ischemic stroke is complex and is likely to include rare or low frequency variants with high penetrance and large effect sizes. Such variants are likely to provide important insights into disease pathogenesis compared to common variants with small effect sizes. Because a significant portion of human functional variation may derive from the protein-coding portion of genes we undertook a pilot study to identify variation across the human exome (i.e., the coding exons across the entire human genome) in 10 ischemic stroke cases. Our efforts focused on evaluating the feasibility and identifying the difficulties in this type of research as it applies to ischemic stroke. The cases included 8 African-Americans and 2 Caucasians selected on the basis of similar stroke subtypes and by implementing a case selection algorithm that emphasized the genetic contribution of stroke risk. Following construction of paired-end sequencing libraries, all predicted human exons in each sample were captured and sequenced. Sequencing generated an average of 25.5 million read pairs (75 bp×2) and 3.8 Gbp per sample. After passing quality filters, screening the exomes against dbSNP demonstrated an average of 2839 novel SNPs among African-Americans and 1105 among Caucasians. In an aggregate analysis, 48 genes were identified to have at least one rare variant across all stroke cases. One gene, CSN3, identified by screening our prior GWAS results in conjunction with our exome results, was found to contain an interesting coding polymorphism as well as containing excess rare variation as compared with the other genes evaluated. In conclusion, while rare coding variants may predispose to the risk of ischemic stroke, this fact has yet to be definitively proven. Our study demonstrates the complexities of such research and highlights that while exome data can be obtained, the optimal analytical methods have yet to be determined.

Abstract
Stroke remains a leading cause of death worldwide and the first cause of disability in the western world. Ischemic stroke (IS) accounts for almost 80% of the total cases of strokes and is a complex and multifactorial disease caused by the combination of vascular risk factors, environment and genetic factors. Investigations of the genetics of atherosclerosis and IS has greatly enhanced our knowledge of this complex multifactorial disease. In this article we sought to review common single-gene disorders relevant to IS, summarize candidate gene and genome-wide studies aimed at discovering genetic stroke risk factors and subclinical phenotypes, and to briefly discuss pharmacogenetics related to stroke treatments. Genetics of IS is, in fact, one of the most promising research frontiers and genetic testing may be helpful for novel drug discoveries as well as for appropriate drug and dose selection for treatment of patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Stroke is a heterogeneous disease caused by different pathogenic mechanisms. Several candidate genes for stroke have been proposed, but few have been replicated. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are expressed following stroke. We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the MMP3 gene with stroke in the Korean population. This study included 186 stroke patients [116 ischemic stroke (IS) and 70 intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)] and 668 age-matched control subjects (267 for IS and 401 for ICH). Three SNPs [rs520540 (Ala362Ala), rs602128 (Asp96Asp), and rs679620 (Lys45Glu)] in the coding region of MMP3 were selected and genotyped by direct sequencing. HelixTree, SNPAnalyzer, SNPStats, and Haploview version 4.2 were used to analyze genetic data. Multiple logistic regression models (codominant, dominant, and recessive models) were conducted to evaluate odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, and P value. Three SNPs in the MMP3 gene were significantly associated with IS (P<0.05). The genotype distribution of 3 SNPs differed between the IS and control subjects. However, there was no association of the SNPs between the ICH and control. In analysis of gender, 3 SNPs were also associated with IS in female group (P<0.05). These SNPs remained significantly associated with IS after the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (P(c)<0.05). Haplotype analysis revealed that no haplotypes were associated with IS or ICH. Overall, the results of our study demonstrate an association of the MMP3 gene with development of IS, and no association of MMP3 with ICH.

A comprehensive association analysis of homocysteine metabolic pathway genes in Singaporean Chinese with ischemic stroke. PLoS One 2011; 6:e24757.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of genetic factors, apart from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms, on elevated plasma homocysteine levels and increasing ischemic stroke risk have not been fully elucidated. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 25 genes involved in homocysteine metabolism to investigate association of common variants within these genes with ischemic stroke risk. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The study was done in two stages. In the initial study, SNP and haplotype-based association analyses were performed using 147 tagging Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in 360 stroke patients and 354 non-stroke controls of Singaporean Chinese ethnicity. Joint association analysis of significant SNPs was then performed to assess the cumulative effect of these variants on ischemic stroke risk. In the replication study, 8 SNPs were selected for validation in an independent set of 420 matched case-control pairs of Singaporean Chinese ethnicity. SNP analysis from the initial study suggested 3 risk variants in the MTRR, SHMT1 and TCN2 genes which were moderately associated with ischemic stroke risk, independent of known stroke risk factors. Although the replication study failed to support single-SNP associations observed in the initial study, joint association analysis of the 3 variants in combined initial and replication samples revealed a trend of elevated risk with an increased number of risk alleles (Joint P(trend) = 1.2×10(-6)). CONCLUSIONS Our study did not find direct evidence of associations between any single polymorphisms of homocysteine metabolic pathway genes and ischemic stroke, but suggests that the cumulative effect of several small to moderate risk variants from genes involved in homocysteine metabolism may jointly confer a significant impact on ischemic stroke risk.

Abstract
Clinicians who treat patients with stroke need to be aware of several single-gene disorders that have ischemic stroke as a major feature, including sickle cell disease, Fabry disease, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, and retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy. The reported genome-wide association studies of ischemic stroke and several related phenotypes (for example, ischemic white matter disease) have shown that no single common genetic variant imparts major risk. Larger studies with samples numbering in the thousands are ongoing to identify common variants with smaller effects on risk. Pharmacogenomic studies have uncovered genetic determinants of response to warfarin, statins and clopidogrel. Despite increasing knowledge of stroke genetics, incorporating this new knowledge into clinical practice remains a challenge. The goals of this article are to review common single-gene disorders relevant to ischemic stroke, summarize the status of candidate gene and genome-wide studies aimed at discovering genetic stroke risk factors, and to briefly discuss pharmacogenomics related to stroke treatment.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke, white matter hyperintensities related to small vessel ischemia, and intracranial aneurysms all show heritability. This review focuses on recent progress in understanding the molecular genetics of these disorders. Also reviewed is recent progress in understanding single-gene disorders in which stroke is a major feature of the phenotype, including CADASIL, CARASIL, hereditary angiopathy with nephropathy, aneurysm and muscle cramps, and Fabry disease and progress in pharmacogenomics as it relates to response to antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have renewed interest in genetic determinants of a wide range of complex traits and disorders, including stroke. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW This paper reviews the current knowledge of genes that contribute to rare monogenic forms of stroke as well as more common 'garden variety' forms, focusing on the results of GWASs. Potential clinical pharmacogenetic and diagnostic applications of this information are considered. Publications from 1990 to September 2010 were identified through a Medline search using terms 'human stroke' and 'genetics', 'monogenic', 'familial', 'mutation', 'genome-wide association study', 'polymorphism', or 'genotype'. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN The review synthesizes and collates the current understanding of genes that are involved across a range of stroke subphenotypes. TAKE HOME MESSAGE The complexity of stroke will make translation of genetic findings into new diagnostic or therapeutic tools relatively more challenging than for some other conditions and tempers the authors' enthusiasm for the eventual clinical utility of this information.

Abstract
Evidence for a genetic basis for stroke comes from twin and family studies and from the occurrence of a number of uncommon monogenic disorders, but the contribution of genetic factors identified for stroke so far is small. Advances in genetics and genomics may permit new insights. In recent genome-wide association studies, a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with specific stroke subtypes and major stroke risk factors such as diabetes and atrial fibrillation. These await replication. Studies of messenger ribonucleic acid expression have also shown promise for the development of genomic signatures for stroke classification. Stroke and coronary heart disease share some features of pathophysiology, risk, and treatment, and their genetic and genomic bases also appear to overlap.

Abstract
As a result of technological advances, the genomic analysis of stroke has shifted from candidate gene association studies to genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Agnostic GWAS evaluate up to 90% of common genetic variation in a single experiment, creating an improved framework for identifying novel genetic leads for biochemical and cellular mechanisms underlying stroke. Given the ubiquity of the GWAS approach, it has become essential for stroke researchers and clinicians to be able to interpret GWAS results. Thus, we review the basic elements of design, methods, presentation, and interpretation of GWAS in the context of stroke research. In 8 recent stroke GWAS reports, no single locus has been identified in 2 GWAS at a genome-wide level of significance. Additionally, no significant association signal between stroke and a locus with previous evidence from candidate gene studies of stroke has been identified yet. Some caveats of the approach and future directions for stroke genomics are discussed, including the use of intermediate phenotypes, Mendelian randomization, phenomics, and deep resequencing. Intelligent, appropriately powered, multidisciplinary studies incorporating knowledge from clinical medicine, epidemiology, genetics, and molecular biology will be required to fully characterize the genomic contributors to stroke.
