Abstract excerpt
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and atherosclerosis is one of the major risk factors for this neurologic deficit. Recent studies have revealed the important role of CD137 in human atherosclerosis. Here, we analyzed the association of CD137 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with ischemic stroke. We assessed three SNPs (rs161827, rs161818, and rs161810) of the CD137...
