VEGFA and ischemic stroke: DYRK1A encodes a dual‐specificity tyrosine‐phosphorylation–regulated kinase 1A that has recently been shown to regulate angiogenic responses in vascular endothelial cells.19Dyrk1a heterozygous mice exhibit defects in retinal vascularization, and DYRK1A was found to positively regulate vascular endothelial growth factor–dependent transcriptional responses in endothelial cells.19 We found no association signal with specific ischemic stroke subtypes, possibly related to limited power.
