Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the roles of the oxidative stress related-genes ALOX5, ALOX5AP and MPO in ischemic stroke susceptibility in the Han Chinese population. METHODS: A total of 351 ischemic stroke patients and 417 controls were recruited. The ALOX5 rs10900213, ALOX5AP rs4293222 and MPO rs2107545 gene polymorphisms were genotyped. RESULTS: We identified that rs2107545 of MPO gene was significantly...
