RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gene-gene interactions likely contribute to the etiology of multifactorial diseases such as cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and could be one of the main sources of known missing heritability. We explored Factor XI (F11) and ABO gene interactions among patients with CVT. METHODS: Patients with CVT of European ancestry from the large Bio-Repository to Establish the Aetiology of Sinovenous Thrombosis (BEAST) international collaboration were recruited. Codominant modelling was used to determine interactions between genome-wide identified F11 and ABO genes with CVT status. RESULTS: We studied 882 patients with CVT and 1,205 ethnically matched control participants (age: 42 ± 15 vs 43 ± 12 years, p = 0.08: sex: 71% male vs 68% female, p = 0.09, respectively). Individuals heterozygous (AT) for the risk allele (T) at both loci (rs56810541/F11 and rs8176645/ABO) had a 3.9 (95% CI 2.74-5.71, p = 2.75e-13) increase in risk of CVT. Individuals homozygous (TT) for the risk allele at both loci had a 13.9 (95% CI 7.64-26.17, p = 2.0e-15) increase in risk of CVT. The presence of a non-O blood group (A, B, AB) combined with TT/rs56810541/F11 increased CVT risk by OR = 6.8 (95% CI 4.54-10.33, p = 2.00e15), compared with blood group-O combined with AA. DISCUSSION: Interactions between factor XI and ABO genes increase risk of CVT by 4- to 14-fold.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Early treatment with intravenous alteplase increases the probability of lytic-induced reperfusion in large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients. The relationship of tenecteplase-induced reperfusion and the timing of thrombolytic administration has not been explored. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of tenecteplase and alteplase reperfusion rates and assessed their relationship to the time of thrombolytic administration. METHODS: Patients who were initially treated with a thrombolytic within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were pooled from the Royal Melbourne Stroke Registry, EXTEND-IA, EXTEND-IA TNK, and EXTEND-IA TNK part 2 trials. The primary outcome, thrombolytic-induced reperfusion, was defined as the absence of retrievable thrombus or >50% reperfusion at initial angiographic assessment (or repeat CT perfusion/angiography). We compared the treatment effect of tenecteplase and alteplase through fixed-effects Poisson regression modelling. RESULTS: Among 846 patients included in the primary analysis, early reperfusion was observed in 173 (20%) patients (tenecteplase: 98/470 [21%], onset-to-thrombolytic time: 132 minutes [interquartile range (IQR): 99-170], and thrombolytic-to-assessment time: 61 minutes [IQR: 39-96]; alteplase: 75/376 [19%], onset-to-thrombolytic time: 143 minutes [IQR: 105-180], thrombolytic-to-assessment time: 92 minutes [IQR: 63-144]). Earlier onset-to-thrombolytic administration times were associated with an increased probability of thrombolytic-induced reperfusion in patients treated with either tenecteplase (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 1.05 per 15 minutes [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.12] or alteplase (aRR 1.06 per 15 minutes [95% CI 1.00-1.13]). Tenecteplase remained associated with higher rates of reperfusion vs alteplase after adjustment for onset-to-thrombolytic time, occlusion site, thrombolytic-to-assessment time, and study as a fixed effect, (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 1.41 [95% CI 1.02-1.93]). No significant treatment-by-time interaction was observed (p = 0.87). DISCUSSION: In patients with LVO presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, earlier thrombolytic administration increased successful reperfusion rates. Compared with alteplase, tenecteplase was associated with a higher probability of lytic-induced reperfusion, independent of onset-to-lytic administration times. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT02388061, NCT03340493. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that among patients with LVO receiving a thrombolytic, reperfusion was more likely with tenecteplase than alteplase.
