What is the association between common variants at 6p21.1 and large artery atheroscle- rotic stroke?
Common variants at 6p21.1 have been found to be associated with large artery atheroscle- rotic stroke based on findings from the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2 (WTCCC2). The study, which was published in the journal Nature Genetics in 2012, identified a variant in HDAC9 as being associated with large vessel ischemic stroke.
