Multi-Ancestry GWAS for Intracranial Aneurysm Risk

A 2026 genome-wide association study meta-analysis includes 1,774,335 participants (20,325 cases and 1,754,010 controls) from five ancestral populations. It represents the largest such study for intracranial aneurysm to date, identifying novel genetic risk loci. The dataset likely contains summary statistics from the genetic analysis.

Use Cases

• Identifying novel genetic risk loci for intracranial aneurysm based on multi-ancestry GWAS summary statistics.
• Conducting meta-analyses or replication studies using the provided case-control genetic data.
• Investigating population-specific genetic risk factors across the five included ancestral groups.

Strengths

• Large sample size of 1,774,335 participants, a 48% increase over the previous largest GWAS.
• Includes data from five ancestral populations, enabling multi-ancestry genetic analysis.

Limitations

• Column names and specific data structure are not described in the provided metadata.
• The dataset's row count is not specified, limiting precise understanding of its granularity.
