Abstract excerpt
Considerable discrepancies in the previously reported associations of the C-reactive protein (CRP) gene variants and ischemic stroke (IS) risk prompted us to perform this meta-analysis. We selected the fixed effects Mantel-Haenszel method to estimate the risk of IS [OR (odds ratio) along with its 95 % CI (confidence interval)] in relation to the CRP variants (-717 A > G, 1444 C > T). Heterogeneity test, influence...
