BACKGROUND: Stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the cerebral cortex is blocked, depriving it of oxygen and glucose, leading to cell death. It is a multifactorial disorder influenced by genetic, vascular, and environmental factors. AIM: This study investigated the association between two polymorphisms of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, rs6265 and rs11030119, and stroke risk in a South...
