TTC7B Emerges as a Novel Risk Factor for Ischemic Stroke Through the Convergence of Several Genome-Wide Approaches

Multiple independent lines of evidence support the role of TTC7B in stroke susceptibility, but further work is warranted to identify the exact risk variant and its pathogenic potential.

Prospective Community-Based Study of Stroke in Northern Portugal: Incidence and Case Fatality in Rural and Urban Populations

Stroke incidence in rural and urban Northern Portugal is high compared to that reported in other Western Europe regions, and the high official mortality in this country could be explained by a relatively high incidence.

Transient Ischemic Attacks in Rural and Urban Northern Portugal: Incidence and Short-Term Prognosis

The incidence of TIA in northern Portugal, particularly in rural populations, ranks among the highest reported in community-based studies, following closely the stroke incidence trend (ACINrpc).

Kalirin: a novel genetic risk factor for ischemic stroke

SNPs in the KALRN region on 3q13, which includes the Ropporin gene (ROPN1), predispose to ischemic stroke (IS) in a cohort of Portuguese patients and controls were determined.

Neuro‐COVID frequency and short‐term outcome in the Northern Portuguese population

The population of hospitalised COVID‐19 patients in Northern Portugal is characterised and it is found that neurological symptoms are common and associated with a high degree of disability at discharge, and CNS involvement with criteria for in‐hospital admission was observed in a significant proportion of patients.

Stroke Types in Rural and Urban Northern Portugal: Incidence and 7-Year Survival in a Community-Based Study

Although patients from rural areas were older, the relatively lower prevalence of simultaneously occurring risk and prognostic factors among them as well as the similar management of rural and urban patients may justify why rurality is not associated with long-term survival.

Mitochondrial haplogroup H1 is protective for ischemic stroke in Portuguese patients

Data suggests that mitochondrial haplogroup H1 has an impact on ischemic stroke risk in a Portuguese sample, and the pre-HV/HV and U mtDNA lineages emerge as potential genetic factors conferring risk for stroke.

[A retrospective study of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in North of Portugal 1993-2002: demographic, clinical and neuropathological features].

The group of patients described represents the heterogeneity of the clinical phenotypes possible in CJD, and neuropathological examination is still indispensable to make the definitive diagnosis of the disease.

Safety of Pregnancy After Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Results of the ISCVT (International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis)-2 PREGNANCY Study

In women with prior cerebral venous thrombosis, recurrent venousThrombotic events during subsequent pregnancies are infrequent, and two of the 3 women were on prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin at the time of the event.

Molecular Genetics of Disease

The results, replicated in three samples from two ethnically diverse populations, show that the lowproducing LTA+80A allele is a strong risk factor for early-onset leprosy.
