Genetic collaboration
without borders.

The ISGC Intracranial Aneurysm Genetics Working Group brings together contributing groups to investigate genetic factors associated with aneurysm formation, growth and rupture.

International consortiumIntracranial aneurysmCollaborative genetics
Scientific aim

From genetic signal
to clinical meaning.

The group collects information on patient background, intracranial aneurysm and genetics.

Its purpose is to identify genetic factors involved in aneurysm formation, growth and rupture, and to evaluate whether genetic information could contribute to quantifying risk of intracranial aneurysm and aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

The working group sits under the broad umbrella of the International Stroke Genetics Consortium and also includes contributors beyond the ISGC.

Vision and values

Collaboration with
integrity.

Large-scale genetic research depends on trust, consistent standards and meaningful recognition of contribution.

01Promote high-quality IA genetic research
02Foster a collegiate environment
03Acknowledge academic contribution
04Work transparently and with integrity
Collaboration model

Shared samples. Shared standards.
Stronger discovery.

01 / CONTRIBUTORS

Participating groups

Representatives of groups that have contributed samples or data to genome-wide association studies of IA genetics.

02 / INFORMATION

Clinical and genetic context

Patient background, aneurysm characteristics and genetic information considered together.

03 / GOVERNANCE

Responsible contribution

Project rules, data governance, attribution and consortium agreements shape use of shared resources.
