Extended Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Haplotype Analysis of the elastin Gene in Caucasians with Intracranial Aneurysms Provides Evidence for Racially/Ethnically Based Differences

Background: There is growing evidence that genetic variants have an impact on the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA). Recently, the genetic locus around the elastin gene (7q11) has been identified as linked to IA in a Japanese population. Our aim was to confirm these results in Caucasian pop...
