title: Genetic stroke risk factors.
abstract: The development of modern molecular genetic techniques has opened up the study of how individual genes affect the risk of stroke. As the multiple genetic influences on stroke are slowly unravelled, the epidemiological basis of our understanding of the hereditary aspects of stroke will be complemented by a knowledge of the underlying molecular genetic risk factors.
