Genetic Insights into Stroke Risk and Prognosis
Addressing genetic factors influencing stroke susceptibility and prognosis, this session will explore recent advances in genomic research, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and polygenic risk scores. Discussions will highlight the identification of stroke-related genes and their implications for personalized stroke prevention and treatment strategies. The session will also examine the role of genetic counseling in facilitating informed decision-making and family planning for individuals at risk of stroke. By elucidating the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors, this session aims to pave the way for precision medicine approaches that optimize stroke care and enhance patient outcomes across diverse populations.
