Cerebrovascular Diseases, 09/15/09
Luke MM et al. – Noncardioembolic stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) may share genetic predispositions. The authors selected 6 gene variants that had been consistently associated with risk of CHD in 3 studies, including the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, and found that 4 of these gene variants were also associated with risk of noncardioembolic stroke. The odds ratios for noncardioembolic stroke were 1.31 (90% CI 1.07–1.60) for rs3900940 in MYH15, 1.24 (90% CI 1.01–1.5) for rs20455 in KIF6, 1.21 (90% CI 0.99–1.49) for rs1010 in VAMP8, and 1.20 (90% CI 0.95–1.50) for rs10757274 on chromosome 9p21.
