Background— Genetic factors have an important role in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA). The results of previous studies have suggested several loci.
Methods and Results— From 29 IA families with 
3 individuals affected by IA, we used nonparametric (model-free) methods for linkage analyses, using GENEHUNTER and Merlin software. Genome-wide linkage analyses revealed 3 regions on chromosomes 17cen (maximum nonparametric logarithm of the odds score [MNS] = 3.00, nominal P=0.001), 19q13 (MNS=2.15, nominal P=0.020), and Xp22 (MNS=2.16, nominal P=0.019). We tested 4 candidate genes in these regions: the microfibril-associated protein 4 gene (MFAP4) and the promoter polymorphism of the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS2A) on chromosome 17cen, the epsilon genotypes of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) on chromosome 19q13, and the angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 gene (ACE2) on chromosome Xp22. Associations of their polymorphisms with IA were evaluated by a case-control study (100 cases: 29 probands from IA families and 71 unrelated subjects with IAs, 100 unrelated control subjects [unaffected members with IAs and absence of family history of IAs]). However, the case-control study showed that none of the polymorphisms of the examined genes had associations with IA.
Conclusions— A genome-wide scan in 29 Japanese families with a high degree of familial clustering revealed 1 suggestive linkage region on chromosome 17cen and 2 potentially interesting regions on chromosomes 19q13 and Xp22. These regions were consistent with previous findings in various populations.
