Apolipoprotein A5 gene promoter region T-1131C polymorphism associates with elevated circulating triglyceride levels and confers susceptibility for development of ischemic stroke.

Abstract excerpt

The possible pathogenic role of triglycerides (TG) in the development of ischemic stroke is still under extensive investigation. Recently, apolipoprotein (apo)A5 gene promoter region T-1131C polymorphism has been shown to associate with elevated serum TG levels. In the current work, a total of 302 subjects were classified as being large vessel-associated, small vessel-associated, or belonging to a mixed group of...
