Multi-trait genetic analysis identifies novel pleiotropic loci for stroke and hematological traits or risk factors.
Article in Fundamental research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests a correlation between stroke and hematological traits along with their associated risk factors, yet the precise shared genetic basis remains elusive. We collected GWAS summary statistics of stroke and potentially related hematological traits or risk factors from the GWAS Catalog and used LDSC to estimate genetic correlations and heritabilities. For trait pairs with significant correlations, we performed a comprehensive multi-trait GWAS analysis to identify pleiotropic loci shared by stroke and genetically correlated hematological traits or risk factors in both Europeans and East Asians. Our MTAG analysis identified 59 pleiotropic loci associated with both stroke and hypertension in Europeans, along with 17 such loci in East Asians. Among these loci, 33 were previously unknown in Europeans, and six were previously unknown in East Asians, suggesting potential new insights into the genetic basis of these traits. In the MTAG analysis of ischemic stroke and venous thromboembolism, we found six known loci and two novel loci. Notably, the 10q22.1 locus (rs12242391) was identified as an eQTL for the nearby gene TSPAN15 in multiple tissues, including whole blood. Furthermore, the 12q13.13 locus (rs4759076), which had not been reported in association with ischemic stroke or venous thromboembolism previously, exhibited a strong cis-eQTL effect with the nearby gene NFE2, a crucial regulator of megakaryocyte biogenesis and platelet production. Our study provided valuable insights into the shared genetic architecture of stroke and hematological traits or risk factors, highlighting potential avenues for future research and clinical applications.
