Genetics of stroke | Journal of Human Hypertension

ABSTRACT Stroke is a very common cause of death and disability. Several lines of evidence point to stroke as a polygenic multifactoral phenotype and there are also a number of well studied

single gene Mendelian stroke conditions. Rat models have identified several chromosomal sites linked to stroke, and this together with other background information provides a strategy for

both cross-sectional and gene scanning approach to defining the genetics of human stroke. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access
