Abstract excerpt
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) occurs more often in postmenopausal women than in men. Estrogen plays an important role in vascular homeostasis. Our aim was to elucidate whether a drop in circulating estradiol in conjunction with variants of estrogen receptor genes have a role in female gender susceptibility to aSAH. A total of 709 subjects were enrolled (349 aSAH patients, 360 controls) and genotyped...
