C11orf58 (Hero20) Gene Polymorphism: Contribution to Ischemic Stroke Risk and Interactions with Other Heat-Resistant Obscure Chaperones

Abstract excerpt

Background: Recently identified Hero proteins, which possess chaperone-like functions, are promising candidates for research into atherosclerosis-related diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS). Methods: 2204 Russian subjects (917 IS patients and 1287 controls) were genotyped for fifteen common SNPs in Hero20 gene C11orf58 using probe-based PCR and the MassArray-4 system. Results: Six C11orf58 SNPs were...
