Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between the promoter region of the prostacyclin synthase gene and cerebral infarction (CI). Using the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method, we found a variable-number tandem repeat polymorphism in the 5'-upstream promoter region of the prostacyclin synthase gene. This region contains...
