New study found 22 gene regions associated with stroke March 16, 2018 Source: Xinhuanet The University of Technology, Sydney, Australia has announced that an international study involving 22 new stroke-related gene regions has deepened understanding of the pathogenesis of stroke and helped develop new drugs for stroke. The researchers conducted a genome-wide association analysis of more than 520,000 people in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia, and more than 67,000 of them experienced a stroke. As a result, 22 new stroke-related gene regions were found, increasing the number of known and stroke-related gene regions to 32. The study deepened the understanding of the pathogenesis of stroke and found that changes in multiple parts of the vascular system may cause a stroke. The vasculature is a closed loop system in the body, including the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The researchers also found that hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes with different pathogenesis were affected by common genes. In addition, the researchers also discovered a biological pathway that triggers stroke. One of the researchers, Jane Maguire of the University of Technology in Sydney, said the findings provide hope for the development of new drugs, many of which can be used as drug targets for antithrombotic therapy. Dr. Elizabeth Holliday of Newcastle University in Australia highlighted the importance of data sharing, and this study used resources from several international biological databases. The research results were published in the latest issue of the British journal Nature Genetics.
