Epidemiology: Genetic association between renal function and stroke

Nature Reviews Nephrology 11, 2 (2015). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2014.211 Using polygenic models constructed from genome-wide association study data, researchers have shown that polygenic scores that correlate with high estimated glomerular filtration rate are associated with a reduced risk of large artery atherosclerosis. They suggest that the association between renal disease and stroke might be
