We aimed to find genetic risk factors associated with leukocyte counts during the acute phase of stroke. Methods- Ischemic stroke patients with leukocyte counts data during the first 24h were included. Genome-wide association study and gene expression studies were performed. Results- Our genome-wide association study, which included 2064 (Discovery) and 407 (Replication) patients, revealed a new locus (14q24.3) associated with leukocyte counts. After Joint analysis (n=2471) 5 more polymorphisms reached genome-wide significance (P YR 2019 FD 2019-10-07 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/14589 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/14589 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 6, 2025
