Abstract excerpt
Candidate gene polymorphisms related to inflammation, thrombosis and lipid metabolism have been implicated in the development of ischemic stroke. Using DNA samples collected at baseline in a prospective cohort of 14 916 initially healthy American men, we genotyped 92 polymorphisms from 56 candidate genes among 319 individuals who subsequently developed ischemic stroke and among 2092 individuals who remained free...
