Research identifies genetic risk factor for stroke: Cysteine altering NOTCH3 gene variant, present in 1 in 300 people, identified as stroke risk factor in elderly patients – Science Daily
A team of researchers has identified a common genetic variant as a risk factor for stroke, especially in patients older than 65.
A team of Geisinger researchers has identified a common genetic variant as a risk factor for stroke, especially in patients older than 65.Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) causes about a quarter of ischemic strokes worldwide and is the most common cause of vascular dementia. SVD can manifest as lesions on the brain, which typically appear on brain scan images.
