Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The miR-208 gene is one of the microRNAs now under active studies, and has been found to play significant roles in an array of cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, until now, no studies have examined the relationship between the susceptibility to ischemic stroke (IS) and genetic variations in miR-208.
