BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests that CYP11B2 rs1799998 (-344C/T) polymorphism is independently associated with an increased risk of stroke. Our aim was to determine whether -344C/T also predisposes to recurrent cerebral ischemia following in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD). METHODS: Genotypes of the CYP11B2 -344C/T polymorphism were determined by polymerase chain...
