BACKGROUND: Genetic factors contribute to the development of ischemic stroke (IS). In order to identify susceptibility variants, we analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that had been previously linked to stroke in a genome-wide association study. METHODS: We analyzed 12 SNPs in a White population comprising IS patients and healthy controls. The analysis was adjusted for confounding variables and...
