The association was independent of age, sex, stroke severity on admission, stroke subtype, and ancestry. On subgroup analysis, imbalance affecting ohnologs was associated with outcome (CADISP: odds ratio=0.88; 95% CI, 0.80–0.95 and SiGN/GISCOME: odds ratio=0.93; 95% CI, 0.89–0.98) whereas imbalance without ohnologs lacked such an association. Conclusions: Increased genetic imbalance was associated with poorer functional outcome after IS in both study populations. Subgroup analysis revealed that this association was driven by presence of ohnologs in the respective copy number variations, suggesting a causal role of the deleterious effects of genetic imbalance.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 09:34:08 AEST ]]>
