Our results also supported robust associations with ischaemic stroke for four other loci that have been reported in previous studies, including PITX2 (first stage OR 1·39, 1·29-1·49, p=3·26 × 10-19; joint OR 1·37, 1·30-1·45, p=2·79 × 10-32) and ZFHX3 (first stage OR 1·19, 1·11-1·27, p=2·93 × 10-7; joint OR 1·17, 1·11-1·23, p=2·29 × 10-10) for cardioembolic stroke, and HDAC9 (first stage OR 1·29, 1·18-1·42, p=3·50 × 10-8; joint OR 1·24, 1·15-1·33, p=4·52 × 10-9) for large artery atherosclerosis stroke. The 12q24 locus near ALDH2, which has previously been associated with all ischaemic stroke but not with any specific subtype, exceeded genome-wide significance in the meta-analysis of small artery stroke (first stage OR 1·20, 1·12-1·28, p=6·82 × 10-8; joint OR 1·17, 1·11-1·23, p=2·92 × 10-9). Other loci associated with stroke in previous studies, including NINJ2, were not confirmed. Interpretation: Our results suggest that all ischaemic stroke-related loci previously implicated by GWAS are subtype specific. We identified a novel gene associated with large artery atherosclerosis stroke susceptibility.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:15 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide association meta-analysis of functional outcome after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48737 Fri 31 Mar 2023 16:23:23 AEDT ]]> Genetic imbalance is associated with functional outcome after Ischemic Stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42223 P=0.0007; odds ratio=0.89; 95% CI, 0.82–0.95 and SiGN/GISCOME: P=0.0036; odds ratio=0.94; 95% CI, 0.91–0.98). 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 ]]>
