Genetics of Early-Onset Ischemic Stroke Consortium
Description: Approximately 20% of all first-ever stroke occurs under the age of 60 and this proportion is increasing. Early-onset ischemic stroke is enriched for genetic signals that may highlight biological mechanisms underlying stroke and point the way to improved prevention and treatment strategies. The proposed study will assemble the largest study of early-onset stroke to date, aimed at identifying the genetic determinants of stroke, with over 13,000 ischemic stroke patients under age 60 and over 73,000 controls.
