Genome-wide association study of cerebral small vessel disease reveals established and novel loci

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and small vessel ischaemic stroke (SVS) are the most severe manifestations of cerebral small vessel disease. In a cross-phenotype genome-wide association analysis, Chung et al. identify two novel associations at 2q33 and 13q34 plus a previously identified locus at 1q22 for non-lobar ICH and SVS...
