Abstract:
Stroke represents a clinical syndrome rather than a single disease. A number of stroke subtypes can be distinguished based on careful phenotyping, with each of these having distinct and overlapping risk factor profiles. Recent evidence has suggested that genetics plays an important part in stroke risk, with at least 2 genes specific to stroke risk directly now having been identified. This review will explore our current understanding of the genetics underlying stroke risk and whether this information is currently useful in a clinical setting for patient benefit.

Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...
