Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) has been shown to have an important role in the postischemic inflammatory response and to contribute to ischemic brain damage. In this study, we investigated whether coding region single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TLR2 gene were associated with ischemic stroke (IS) and with clinical phenotypes in IS patients. We genotyped two SNPs (rs3804099 [Asn199Asn] and rs3804100...
