Although SNPs associated with deep intracerebral hemorrhage did not reach our significance threshold for association with lacunar ischemic stroke (lead SNP OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03-1.18, p = 0.0073), and with white matter hyperintensity volume in symptomatic ischemic stroke patients (lead SNP OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.13, p = 0.016), the direction of association was the same. There was no convincing evidence of association with white matter hyperintensities in population-based studies or with non-small vessel disease cerebrovascular phenotypes. Conclusions: Our results indicate an association between common variation in the COL4A2 gene and symptomatic small vessel disease, particularly deep intracerebral hemorrhage. These findings merit replication studies, including in ethnic groups of non-European ancestry.]]> Tue 21 Jul 2020 09:43:56 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27063 2000 trait-associated genetic variants. Because most of these variants have individually small effects on disease risk, successful gene discovery efforts have required large sample sizes (involving thousands, tens, or hundreds of thousands of cases and controls) to achieve sufficient study power. Amassing such sample sizes has depended on international collaboration on a scale never seen before in human genetics or even in clinical research. Disease-specific consortia bringing together many individual sites and collaborators have now evolved for many major diseases. Each consortium has faced with ≥2 fundamental questions: how to assemble a study sample of sufficient size, homogeneity, and phenotypic quality and how to retain and analyze, sometimes repeatedly over several years, biological samples from enrolled subjects.]]> Thu 10 Sep 2020 18:07:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25211 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:02 AEDT ]]>
