Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a recent genome wide association study, polymorphisms in the DSCAM and CNTNAP2 genes were reported to be related with susceptibility of AIS. Consequently, further replication studies are warranted in other populations due to ethnic difference in genetic background. OBJECTIVE: To explore whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DSCAM (rs2222973) and CNTNAP2 (rs11770843) genes are associated...
