Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The alpha2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) mediates physiological responses to endogenous catecholamine, and genetic variants of α2-AR may predispose to clinical vascular diseases. We evaluated whether common genetic variants of each three subtype of alpha2-adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A, ADRA2B, and ADRA2C) were associated with ischemic stroke. METHODS: A total of 616 patients with ischemic stroke and 512...
