Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins that contribute to the inflammation in atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between two polymorphisms (-1195G>A and -765G>C) in the COX-2 gene and subtypes of ischemic stroke in a Chinese population.
