Addition of the combined GRS to a simple model based on sex significantly improved the prediction of IS in the combined clinic-based samples but not in the population-based studies, and there was no significant improvement in net reclassification. Conclusions - A multilocus GRS based on common variants for established cardiovascular risk factors was significantly associated with IS both in clinic-based samples and in the general population. However, the improvement in clinical risk prediction was found to be small.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:17 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide analysis of blood pressure variability and ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20171 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:43 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25277 −11; odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28–1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:17 AEDT ]]>
