Recurrent Stroke Prediction by Applying a Stroke Polygenic Risk Score in the Japanese Population

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Recently, various polygenic risk score (PRS)based methods were developed to improve stroke prediction. However, current PRSs (including cross-ancestry PRS) poorly predict recurrent stroke. In particular, it predicted an increased risk of recurrence among stroke patients without hypertension.
