Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Through a genome-wide linkage scan, an Icelandic genetic research group identified two new genes associated with ischemic stroke: the 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene and the phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene. Because they regulate arterial inflammation and are closely related to atherosclerosis and plaque instability, these two mutated genes have become a research hotspot. The...
