Apolipoprotein A5 gene C56G variant confers risk for the development of large-vessel associated ischemic stroke

摘要

Ischemic stroke is a suddenly developing temporary or often permanent damage of the brain. Several candidate genes have been shown to have an impact in the pathogenesis of stroke. The aim of our study was to investigate the possible association between the C56G variant of the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene and ischemic stroke.
