Risk of Harboring an Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm
Stroke 29:359-362, Ronkainen,A.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The relative risk for IAs among first-degree relatives in FIA families was 4.2(95%confidence interval,2.2 to 8.0)and among first-degree relatives in families with only one affected member was 1.8(95%confidence interval,0.7 to 4.8)compared with the general population in East Finland.First-degree relatives in FIA families constitute a high-risk group for incidental IAs, and this group would benefit from screening studies for IAs.Screening for IAs in families with only one affected member or in the general population is not recommended.
