NRCAM and ischemic stroke: Further meriting these proteins for in-depth study in the context of recovery after stroke, an intronic variant in the NRCAM gene was suggestive for association to white matter hyperintensity volume64, and an intronic variant near TNR to functional outcome65 in two separate genome wide association studies of ischemic stroke cases (n = 3,670 and n = 6,165 respectively).
