The identification of pathway markers in intracranial aneurysm using genome-wide association data from two different populations.

The identification of significant individual factors causing complex diseases is challenging in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) since each factor has only a modest effect on the disease development mechanism. In this study, we hypothesize that the biological pathways that are targeted by thes...
