Abstract excerpt
This study was aimed to explore the association of genetic variation in members of the leukotrienes biosynthesis pathway as potential mediators with ischemic stroke (IS) risk in Eastern Han Chinese. A case-control study of was conducted with five selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the single-locus analysis, carriers of C allele of rs730012 in LTC4S were more susceptible to IS (OR, 1.28; 95% CI,...
