Abstract WMP106: Sex-stratified Transethnic GWAS Meta-analysis Identifies Novel Candidates For Early Onset Ischemic Stroke
Abstract
Background: Early onset ischemic stroke (IS) affects males and females unequally, but the etiologic background of the sex differences remains inadequately understood. We hypothesize that stratifying GWAS by sex provides an opportunity to 1) identify loci that shed light on mechanisms and pathways relevant to sex specific effects in IS and 2) discover novel IS loci.
