Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: Genetic predisposition of the inflammatory host response may affect the development of stroke. On the basis of the theory of infectious burden and risk of stroke, we considered it of interest to investigate the relevance of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the DEFB1 gene and the copy number variant (CNV) of the DEFB4 genes in ischemic stroke. RESULTS: There were no significant...
