N4 CLINICAL REVIEW GENETICS OF INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS Brian V. Nahed, M.D. DESPITE ADVANCES IN the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) in recent years, Department of Neurosurgery, the overall outcome of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has shown Yale University School of Medicine, only modest improvement. Given this poor prognosis, diagnosis of IA before rupture New Haven, Connecticut is of paramount importance. Currently, there are no reliable methods other than screen- Mohamad Bydon, B.A. ing imaging studies of high-risk individuals to diagnose asymptomatic patients. Multiple Department of Neurosurgery, levels of evidence suggest that environmental factors acting in concert with genetic Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut susceptibilities lead to the formation, growth, and rupture of aneurysms in these patients. Epidemiological studies have already identified aneurysm-specific risk factors such as Ali K. Ozturk, M.D. size and location, as well as patient-specific risk factors, such as age, sex, and pres- Department of Neurosurgery, ence of medical comorbidities, such as hypertension. In addition, exposure to certain Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut environmental factors such as smoking have been shown to be important in the forma- tion of IA. Furthermore, substantial evidence proves that certain loci contribute geneti- Kaya Bilguvar, M.D. cally to IA pathogenesis. Genome-wide linkage studies using relative pairs or rare fam- Department of Neurosurgery, ilies that are affected with the Mendelian forms of IA have already shown genetic Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut heterogeneity of IA, suggesting that multiple genes, alone or in combination, are impor- tant in the disease pathophysiology. The linkage results, along with association studies, Fatih Bayrakli, M.D. will ultimately lead to the identification of IA susceptibility genes. Identification of the Department of Neurosurgery, Yale University School of Medicine, genes important in IA pathogenesis will not only provide novel insights into the primary New Haven, Connecticut determinants of IA, but will also result in new opportunities for early diagnosis in the preclinical setting. Ultimately, novel therapeutic strategies based on biology will be Murat Gunel, M.D. developed, which will target these newly elucidated genetic susceptibilities.
