Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study was carried out to determine if there is any association between plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) gene 4G/5G polymorphism and plasma PAI-1 enzyme activity in acute stroke patients. METHODS: In this study, 333 genomic DNAs (from 253 acute stroke patients and 80 healthy subjects) were analyzed. Genomic DNAs were prepared from peripheral blood using a saline method. These DNAs were...
