Abstract

The impact of rare and damaging variants in genes associated with platelet function in large-vessel ischemic stroke (LVIS) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of some of these variants to the genetic susceptibility to LVIS in Polish patients using a deep re-sequencing of 54 selected genes, coding for proteins associated with altered platelet function. Targeted pooled re-sequencing (Illumina HiSeq 2500) was performed on genomic DNA of 500 cases (patients with history of clinically proven diagnosis of LVIS) and 500 age-, smoking status-, and sex-matched controls (no history of any type of stroke), and from the same population as patients with LVIS.
