Because these loci had prior evidence for genome-wide significance for CAD, we specifically analyzed the respective signals for IS and LAS and found evidence for association at chr12q24/SH2B3 (PIS=1.62x10-7) and ABO (PIS=2.6x10-4), as well as at HDAC9 (PLAS=2.32x10-12), 9p21 (PLAS=3.70x10-6), RAI1-PEMT-RASD1 (PLAS=2.69x10-5), EDNRA (PLAS=7.29x10-4), and CYP17A1-CNNM2-NT5C2 (PLAS=4.9x10-4). Conclusions-Our results demonstrate substantial overlap in the genetic risk of IS and particularly the LAS subtype with CAD.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:46 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25277 −11; odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28–1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:17 AEDT ]]> Shared genetic basis for migraine and ischemic stroke: a genome-wide analysis of common variants https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:25600 -28 for the LAS polygenic score in MO) and between MO and cardioembolic stroke (CE; p 2.7 x 10-20 for the CE score in MO). Conclusions: Our findings indicate shared genetic susceptibility to migraine and IS, with a particularly strong overlap between MO and both LAS and CE pointing towards shared mechanisms. Our observations on MA are consistent with a limited role of common genetic variants in this subtype.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:03 AEDT ]]> Ischemic stroke is associated with the ABO locus: the EuroCLOT Study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28358 –8) with 1 or more coagulation/fibrin phenotypes. The most striking associations included SNP rs5985 with factor XIII activity (p = 2.6 x 10–186), rs10665 with FVII (p = 2.4 x 10–47), and rs505922 in the ABO gene with both von Willebrand factor (p = 4.7 x 10–57) and factor VIII (p = 1.2 x 10–36). In Stage 2, the 23 independent SNPs were examined in stroke cases/noncases using MOnica Risk, Genetics, Archiving and Monograph (MORGAM) and Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2 collections. SNP rs505922 was nominally associated with ischemic stroke (odds ratio = 0.94, 95% confidence interval = 0.88–0.99, p = 0.023). Independent replication in Meta-Stroke confirmed the rs505922 association with stroke, beta (standard error, SE) = 0.066 (0.02), p = 0.001, a finding specific to large-vessel and cardioembolic stroke (p = 0.001 and p = < 0.001, respectively) but not seen with small-vessel stroke (p = 0.811). Interpretation: ABO gene variants are associated with large-vessel and cardioembolic stroke but not small-vessel disease. This work sheds light on the different pathogenic mechanisms underpinning stroke subtype. Ann Neurol 2013]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:12 AEDT ]]>
