The functional outcome after stroke is unpredictable; it is not accurately predicted by clinical pictures upon hospital admission. The presence of apoptotic neurons in the ischemic penumbra and perihematoma area may account for poor prognosis, but whether the highly variable stroke outcome reflects differences in genetic susceptibility to apoptosis is elusive. The p53 tumor suppressor protein, an important...
