Approximately 6% of human beings harbor an unruptured intracranial aneurysm. Each year in the United States, >30 000 people suffer a ruptured intracranial aneurysm, resulting in subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite the high incidence and catastrophic consequences of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm and the fact that there is considerable evidence that predisposition to intracranial aneurysm has a strong genetic component, very little is understood with regard to the pathology and pathogenesis of this disease.
