Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Data concerning an association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) remain inconsistent. Results of some studies suggest that DD genotype may be a risk factor for small vessel disease (SVD) stroke. Here, we investigated whether this polymorphism is associated with IS of different etiologies in a Polish population. SUBJECTS AND...
