Genetic Susceptibility to Adult Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Candidate Gene Studies
These findings support a genetic basis for adult CVT. Risk associations are broadly similar to pediatric CVT yet stronger than those reported for adult arterial ischemic stroke, highlighting distinct patterns of genetic susceptibility in venous stroke and the potential value of selective genetic testing for risk stratification and management.
