Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants of Klotho have been reported to be associated with human longevity and atherosclerotic vascular events and risk factors. However, very few studies have explored their association with ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that the functional KL-VS and the exonic C1818T variants of Klotho gene may be associated with ischemic stroke in Indian population. We enrolled a total of 460 patients with ischemic...
