Brief description The majority of stroke is caused by atherothrombosis, the formation of blood clots in brain blood vessels. Numerous genes are linked to atherothrombosis, but many studies examined genetic influences in isolation from environmental risk factors. We will examine the relevance of genetic variations linked to atherothrombosis, in the context of environmental risk factors. By determining the contribution of genetic and environmental factors in stroke, we will develop a stroke risk assessment tool.
