Multi-ethnic genome-wide study indicating genetic risk loci for MRI-identified brain infarcts

Takeaway

  • Some genetic loci represent risk of brain infarcts (BI) or small subcortical brain infarcts (SSBI) across multiple ethnicities.

Why this matters ?

  • Due to poor understanding of the risk variants for BI and SSBI, recommendations on how to manage MRI-defined BIs are limited.
