BACKGROUND: Previous studies have investigated the association between a polymorphism (-455 G>A) in the β-fibrinogen gene and the risk of cerebral infarction. However, these results are controversial. To shed light on these inconclusive findings, we performed a meta-analysis of studies relating the β-fibrinogen genetic polymorphism (-455 G>A) to the risk of cerebral infarction. METHODS: We identified literature...
