GRS of BP traits were associated with BI and SSBI (p = 0.0022), without indication of directional pleiotropy. Conclusion: In this multiethnic GWAS meta-analysis, including over 20,000 population-based participants, we identified genetic risk loci for BI requiring validation once additional large datasets become available. High BP, including genetically determined, was the most significant modifiable, causal risk factor for BI.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 10:54:18 AEST ]]> Multiancestry genome-wide association study of 520,000 subjects identifies 32 loci associated with stroke and stroke subtypes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47666 Tue 24 Jan 2023 15:47:40 AEDT ]]> GWAS and colocalization analyses implicate carotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaque loci in cardiovascular outcomes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35949 Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:29:39 AEDT ]]>
