Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have revealed two loci (rs1746048 and rs501120) on chromosome 10q11.21 associated with atherosclerosis. The genetic variants are related to chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12, which has been shown to affect atherosclerosis. This study aims to explore the associations between these loci and risk of ischemic stroke in the northern Chinese Han population. A total of 368 patients with...
