Polymorphism of SERF2, the gene encoding a heat-resistant obscure (Hero) protein with chaperone activity, is a novel link in ischemic stroke

Abstract excerpt

Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most serious cardiovascular events associated with high risk of death or disability. The growing body of evidence highlights molecular chaperones as especially important players in the pathogenesis of the disease. Since six small proteins called "Hero" have been recently identified as a novel class of chaperones we aimed to evaluate whether SNP rs4644832 in SERF2 gene...
