Trial Information

Summary: Have you or a family member been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm? Is there also a family history of brain aneurysms?

We are conducting a genetic study entitled Familial Intracranial Aneurysm (FIA). The purpose of this research study is to identify possible genes that may increase the risk of stroke and particularly development of aneurysms in blood vessels of the brain.

Once enrolled into the study, we will draw about 4-5 teaspoons of blood, take 3 blood pressure readings, and you will answer some family history and medical history questions. After that, you will receive an annual follow-up questionnaire.

In order to qualify, you must be diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and have either one other sibling diagnosed with an aneurysm and/or two relatives who have been diagnosed.
