Causal relationship of susceptibility genes to ischemic stroke: comparison to ischemic heart disease and biochemical determinants.

Interrelationships between genetic and biochemical factors underlying ischemic stroke and ischemic heart disease are poorly understood. We: 1) undertook the most comprehensive meta-analysis of genetic polymorphisms in ischemic stroke to date; 2) compared genetic determinants of ischemic stroke with...
