Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The kinesin light-chain 1 genetic variants G56836C, A185C, and C406T were earlier found to amplify the development of leukoaraiosis in hypertensive smokers. These 3 variants were presumed to affect the function of the mitochondria, thereby giving rise to sensitivity to a chronic ische...
