Shared genetic susceptibility to ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease: a genome-wide analysis of common variants.

Shared genetic susceptibility to ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease: a genome-wide analysis of common variants.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ischemic stroke (IS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share several risk factors and each has a substantial heritability. We conducted a genome-wide analysis to evaluate the extent of shared genetic determination of the two diseases. METHODS: Genome-wide association data wer...
