An aneurysm occurs when the wall of a blood vessel weakens and balloons outward, making the blood vessel abnormally large. The larger the vessel becomes, the greater the risk of rupture — a serious emergency. Often there are no symptoms of an aneurysm until a rupture occurs. Brain (also known as [...]

SNPwatch: Study Finds Genetic Links to Brain Aneurysm in Both Japanese and European Populations

brain

SNPwatch gives you the latest news about research linking various traits and conditions to individual genetic variations. These studies are exciting because they offer a glimpse into how genetics may affect our bodies and health; but in most cases, more work is needed before this research can provide [...]
