Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between polymorphisms in the gene encoding activin receptorlike kinase 1 (ACVRL1) with brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) using a case-control study in a Chinese Han population, followed by a meta-analysis of the published literature. METHODS: This study focused on the genotypic analysis of 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2071219, rs706819, rs2293094,...
