Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite accumulating evidence supporting the association between variants of the ALOX5AP gene and atherosclerotic vascular events, the precise mechanism is still unclear. No variants in the coding sequence that lead to amino acid substitution have been found. We investigated genetic variants in the promoter region of the ALOX5AP gene and the association with ischemic stroke in a north Chinese Han...
