Abstract excerpt
Aim: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is the primary initiating cause of cerebral small-vessel diseases including leukoaraiosis (LA). β-Catenin is a key regulator of the BBB and plays an important role in cell-cell adhesion at adherens junctions by interacting with cadherin molecules. Thus, β-Catenin may be a good candidate gene for LA. We performed a genetic analyses to investigate the association between...
