Downstream TRPM4 Polymorphisms Are Associated with Intracranial Hypertension and Statistically Interact with ABCC8 Polymorphisms in a Prospective Cohort of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract excerpt

Sulfonylurea-receptor-1(SUR1) and its associated transient-receptor-potential cation channel subfamily-M (TRPM4) channel are key contributors to cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological disorders. Channel inhibition by glyburide is clinically promising. ABCC8 (encoding SUR1) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are reported as predictors of raised...
