Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Genome-wide association studies discovered a novel correlation between chromosome 12q24 and ischemic stroke in European populations. This study aimed to determine whether two genetic variants (rs10744777 and rs886205) on chromosome 12q24 can modify the risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese population. METHODS: We recruited 1195 patients with ischemic stroke and 642 healthy Chinese...
