Abstract (EN): Stroke is not a single disease, but rather this focal cerebral damage can result from different causes. Although the different processes share some risk factors, they have different conventional and genetic risk factor profiles. Most strokes appear to be sporadic, with no obvious pattern of Mendelian inheritance. Although some can be ascribed to a monogenic cause, genetic factors do also appear to be important in the risk of having a sporadic stroke. This review concerns to genetic diseases that may curse with isquemic stroke. © ArquiMed, 2010.
