Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Currently, there is a debate regarding the roles of two functional fibrinogen-related variants (rs6050 and rs1800790) and ischemic stroke (IS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1402 subjects (834 cases and 568 controls) were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs6050 and rs1800790 with the ligation detection reaction method. RESULTS: We found that the homozygous minor allele genotype (GG)...
