TL;DR: The results show that, although genetic variants can be detected in patients with ischaemic stroke when compared with controls, all associations validated are specific to a stroke subtype, and this finding has two implications.

TL;DR: A novel locus (G allele at rs12122341) at 1p13.2 near TSPAN2 that was associated with large artery atherosclerosis-related stroke was identified and supported robust associations with ischaemic stroke for four other loci that have been reported in previous studies.

TL;DR: Patients with clinically manifest arterial disease or type 2 diabetes mellitus have a low risk of developing ischemic stroke, irrespective of its subtype and independent of the degree of ACAS stenosis.

TL;DR: A novel association on chromosome 12q24 (rs10744777, odds ratio [OR] 1.10 [1.07–1.13], p = 7.12 × 10−11) was identified with ischemic stroke rather than an individual stroke subtype, with similar effect sizes seen in different stroke subtypes.

TL;DR: The results show that a covariate-informed design, by adjusting for age-at-onset of stroke, can detect variants not identified by conventional GWAS.
