Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of genetic risk factors in ischemic stroke is unclear. Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GpIIb-IIIa) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the relationship between the GpIIb/IIIa complex gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke. MATERIAL/METHODS: We investigated the association of the GpIIb/IIIa complex gene polymorphism with stroke risk in 306 patients...
