Annexin A2 genetics and unexplained stroke
This study looks at certain genetic variations (specifically in a gene called Annexin A2) in people who have had a stroke with no known cause. It aims to understand if these genetic differences might be linked to this type of stroke.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06881420Recruiting
