Abstract excerpt
Ischemic stroke (IS) is thought to be a multifactorial disorder associated with genetic backgrounds and environmental factors. In the circulating plasma, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) catalyzes the reaction from plasminogen to plasmin. If there is a functional disability of tPA, induction of thrombosis and infarction disorders can occur. The aim of this study was to perform a haplotype-based case-control...
