Description
Janaki Nair, Aniket Mishra, and Stephanie Debette present this 2026 conference abstract on the genetics of brain white matter damage. Bright spots on brain scans mark small vessel disease and link to stroke and dementia. Most genetic work so far drew on European groups. The team studies South Asian people with whole-genome data.
They analyzed scans and genomes from 906 South Asian people in a large UK study. Of 27 known risk spots from European work, 15 showed the same direction of effect. No single hit reached the strict bar in this small group alone. Pooling with past data found two new risk spots. The authors stress the need for larger, mixed-ancestry studies.
