Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that the elastin gene is a candidate gene for the development of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). We investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the elastin gene in sporadic subarachnoid hemorrhage and in patients with unruptured aneurysms in China. We genotyped 446 (47.9%) IA patients (308 ruptured and 138 unruptured) and 485 (52.1%) control subjects for seven...
