Ischemic stroke is associated with the ABO locus: The EuroCLOT study
AssociationN=63,100Williams FM et al.(2013)· Annals of Neurology

The EuroCLOT study identified genetic variants associated with coagulation factors in healthy volunteers and examined their association with ischemic stroke using a three-stage design (2,100 twins in discovery, 4,200 cases in stage 2, and 8,900 cases/55,000 controls in stage 3). The lead ABO locus SNP rs505922 showed significant association with ischemic stroke (OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.03-1.11, p=0.0006), with association specifically in cardioembolic and large-vessel stroke but not small-vessel disease. Two additional ABO SNPs (rs643434 and rs651007) also showed significant association.

About F7

This gene encodes coagulation factor VII which is a vitamin K-dependent factor essential for hemostasis. This factor circulates in the blood in a zymogen form, and is converted to an active form by either factor IXa, factor Xa, factor XIIa, or thrombin by minor proteolysis. Upon activation of the factor VII, a heavy chain containing a catalytic domain and a light chain containing 2 EGF-like domains are generated, and two chains are held together by a disulfide bond. In the presence of factor III and calcium ions, the activated factor then further activates the coagulation cascade by converting factor IX to factor IXa and/or factor X to factor Xa. Defects in this gene can cause coagulopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing to generate mature polypeptides.
