Sequence variants on chromosome 9p21.3 are implicated in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, but studies in ischemic stroke have produced inconsistent results. We investigated whether these conflicting findings were due to false-positive studies confounded by population stratification or false-negative studies that failed to account for effects specific to certain stroke subtypes.
