A DNA Resource for Lacunar Stroke

DNA Resource for Lacunar Stroke Study

Aims

  1. To establish a case-control DNA database in young and middle aged Caucasian lacunar stroke, which will then be made available to all interested researchers.
  2. To use this unique resource to investigate the role of specific candidate genes in lacunar stroke, and in future also perform genome wide association scans.

This study is sponsored by the Wellcome Trust and The Stroke Association.
