Atrial Fibrillation Genetic Risk Differentiates Cardioembolic Stroke from other Stroke Subtypes
Abstract
Abstract Objective We sought to assess whether genetic risk factors for atrial fibrillation can explain cardioembolic stroke risk. Methods We evaluated genetic correlations between a prior genetic study of AF and AF in the presence of cardioembolic stroke using genome-wide genotypes from the Stroke Genetics Network (N = 3,190 AF cases, 3,000 cardioembolic stroke cases, and 28,026 referents). We tested whether a previously-validated AF …
