Abstract excerpt
The phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) gene is critical to the pathological development of atherosclerosis, a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI). However, it remains unclear whether genetic polymorphism in the PTEN gene can affect the risk of developing ACI. In the present haplotype-based case-control study, we investigated whether polymorphisms of the PTEN gene were associated...
