Genetic Survey of Adult-Onset Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Conclusions:
This is the first study to investigate the genetics of IIH in a rigorously characterized cohort. The study was limited by its modest size and thus would have only been able to demonstrate highly significant association on a genome-wide scale for relatively common alleles exerting large effects. However, several variants and loci were identified that might be strong candidates for follow-up studies in other well-phenotyped cohorts.
