280 A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study of Intracranial Aneurysm Identifies Novel Risk Genes and Overlapping Genetic Architecture With Other Vascular Disorders

Gunther W. Wong, Xavier Bledsoe, Eric R. Gamazon, Rohan V Chitale

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are common cerebrovascular lesions with well-documented heritability. Numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have attempted to define IA genetic architecture. However, linking individual risk SNPs from these studies to genes and causal pathways is challenging. To address this, transcriptome-wide …

364 Bypass Surgery for Moyamoya Vasculopathy: Predictors of BOLD MRI Revascularization Response

Gunther W. Wong, Caleb Han, Manus Joseph Donahue, Rohan V Chitale

INTRODUCTION: Revascularization surgery in Moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV) has been shown to reduce stroke and symptom recurrence. Most studies examining revascularization outcomes are based on surrogates like clinical response or angiography. These surrogates are not direct measures of tissue level perfusion. Blood oxygenation-level …
