Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The -455 G/A (HaeIII) polymorphism of beta-fibrinogen gene influences levels of plasma fibrinogen. We further investigated whether it influences the risk of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. METHODS: We accumulated 134 acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) cases and compared their -455 G/A status with a control group (n = 166). The beta-fibrinogen gene -455 G/A polymorphism was analyzed for all...
