Abstract excerpt
Background The prognostic role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in stroke has been suggested, but limited studies have shown mixed results and unknown underlying mechanisms. DNA methylation, a molecular modification that alters gene expression, may represent a candidate mechanism for this purpose. We aimed to examine the associations of BNP and methylation of its coding gene (natriuretic peptide B [NPPB]) with...
