Genetics

 

We share all our published genetic data usually through the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) data portal. http://www.cerebrovascularportal.org/

Data from our specific major genetic studies is available on the links below:

 

WTCCC2 Ischemic Stroke Study

 International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) and Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2 (WTCCC2). Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke. PMC3303115

Requests for access to individual level data can be sent through the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC). Information about this can be found here.

Please note this data set is fully contained within the METASTROKE and MEGASTROKE datasets.

The GWAS summary statistics from WMH, FA, and MD for the UK Biobank and stroke studies are available here.

We are unable to make the CHARGE available via the cerebrovascular disease portal due to dbGaP and CHARGE access regulations, and these can be obtained direct from dbGaP
