The Cerebrovascular Disease Knowledge Portal enables browsing, searching, and analysis of human genetic information linked to cerebrovascular disease and related traits, while protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the underlying data. Data can be accessed via automated analytical tools, downloadable summary level data from peer-reviewed published research and controlled access individual level data work space.

All of our genetic analyses are carried out in collaboration with the International Stroke Genetics Consortium and its constituents, including the METASTROKE and MEGASTROKE collaborations. In addition to specific projects devoted to discovering the gene variants that influence stroke and the mechanisms through which these variants alter risk of stroke, we are also developing tools to enhance the sharing of data generated by members of the ISGC.
