Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Stroke is a multifactorial and complex disease caused by the obstruction or rupture of cerebrovascular. To explore the influence of genetic factors on stroke susceptibility, we investigated the association between four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) gene and stroke risk. METHODS: A total of 977 volunteers including 476 stroke patients...
