It integrates laboratory, applied and clinical research, with an emphasis on molecular genetic and genetic epidemiologic aspects of cerebrovascular disease. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with an overview of the key risk factors for stroke, most of the major stroke types and syndromes are detailed, as well as the key genetic advances for several stroke mechanisms and etiologies. The text also provides expert guidance for evaluating patients' genetic stroke profile. Extensive bibliographies for each chapter further guide the reader to topics of particular interest.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the pioneering text on this topic, \u003ci\u003eGenetics of Cerebrovascular Disease\u003c\/i\u003e should be of considerable interest and value to both clinicians and researchers in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e  Contributors. \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I.

The chapters are packed with information and have been written clearly. The book is an excellent resource for physicians dealing with cases of cerebrovascular diseases in which the family history suggests the role of inheritance. ...On a whole, this book fills an obvious gap in the field and is therefore a welcome addition to the neurologic and general medical literature.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e--The New England Journal of Medicine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The audience identified in the preface is both practitioners and researchers.
