Recently, a genome-wide association study reported an association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs11833579 and rs12425791 near NINJ2 gene and ischemic stroke in Caucasians. Therefore, NINJ2 gene is an important candidate locus in the prevalence of ischemic stroke. We performed a hospital based genetic association study in Chinese Han subjects to investigate the relationship between NINJ2 gene and ischemic stroke. We genotyped 14 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNP) in 749 ischemic stroke subjects and 924 control subjects and conducted the association between these tSNPs and ischemic stroke. We detected a tSNP rs10849373 in the first intron of the NINJ2 gene significantly associated with ischemic stroke (both genotype and allelic p=0.0001). The minor A allele increased the risk of ischemic stroke with a per-allele OR of 1.37 for the additive genetic model in univariate analysis (p=0.0001). The significance remained after adjustment for the covariates of age, gender, BMI, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, hypertension, and diabetes. Therefore, we report a new genetic variant, rs10849373, located in the first intron of the NINJ2 gene, conferring risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese Han subjects. Further genetic association and functional studies are required to search the causal functional variant in linkage disequilibrium with this polymorphism.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the unique weather change and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the southern Zhejiang Province of China and to provide evidence for better predicting and preventing stroke.

Methods: We retrospectively collected 14,996 ischemic stroke patients data and weather data from January 2019 to December 2021 in the southern Zhejiang Province of China. The correlation and risk between meteorological factors and the number of AIS daily cases were calculated.

Background And Objectives: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare cause of stroke characterized by headache, seizures, focal deficits, or encephalopathy. Very little is known about this rare condition from the Indian subcontinent. Here, we present the clinical and imaging characteristics and short-term outcomes of RCVS patients from South India.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) accounts for about 20% of all ischemic strokes worldwide. It is known that AF impairs health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the general population, but data on HRQOL in stroke patients with newly diagnosed AF are sparse.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of the prospective, investigator-initiated, multicenter MonDAFIS study (NCT02204267) to analyze whether AF-related oral anticoagulation (OAC), and/or AF-symptom severity are associated with HRQOL after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
