C-reactive Protein –717AG and –286CTA Gene Polymorphism and Ischemic Stroke

摘要

Background:Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the formation and progression of ischemic stroke. Recently, more and more epidemiological studies have focused on the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) −717A > G and −286C > T > A genetic polymorphisms and ischemic stroke. However, the findings of these researches are not conclusive.
