Monogenic Stroke —Can We Overcome Nature With Nurture?
Although genetic underpinnings of several neurological disorders like epilepsy have been described as early as fourth century bce in the Corpus Hippocraticum, discoveries in stroke have been more recent. One of the first reports demonstrating the importance of heredity in stroke pathogenesis occurred in 1974 with the generation of the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat. This strain was created using selective breeding and has endured as a valuable asset in contemporary stroke research. Nonetheless, half a century later, the precise genetic determinants even in this single, highly specific rodent stroke phenotype h...
