Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene, along with altered PAI-1 and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) levels, have been implicated in stroke pathogenesis. We investigated the association of PAI-1 and tPA levels with stroke as a function of PAI-1 4G/5G and -844G/A genotypes, as well as the link between these PAI-1 gene variants and stroke risk, in a case-control study of 135...
