The Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and the prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus, as well as a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that the 2445G-->A (Ala54Thr) polymorphism (rs1799883) of FABP2, the -108/3G-->4G polymorphism of IPF1 (S82168), the A-->G (rs2241883" genes_norm="2168">Thr94Ala) polymorphism (rs2241883) of FABP1, the G-->A (rs529038" genes_norm="6098">Asp2213Asn) polymorphism (rs529038) of ROS1, the -11377C-->G polymorphism (rs266729) of ADIPOQ, the 162A-->C polymorphism (rs4769055) of ALOX5AP, the -786T-->C polymorphism (rs2070744) of NOS3, and the 3279C-->T polymorphism (rs7291467) of LGALS2 were associated (P<0.05) with the prevalence of atherothrombotic cerebral infarction.
The results of the meta-analysis indicate that ALOX5APrs10507391/SG13S114 A>T polymorphism is not associated with the risk of cerebral infarction in the Chinese population.
The results indicate that the two genetic polymorphisms of ALOX5AP, SG13S114 and SG13S32, are not associated with cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population.
Synergistic effect of ALOX5AP polymorphisms and cigarette smoking on the risk of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction in a Northern Han Chinese population.
The Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and the prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus, as well as a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that the 2445G-->A (Ala54Thr) polymorphism (rs1799883) of FABP2, the -108/3G-->4G polymorphism of IPF1 (S82168), the A-->G (rs2241883" genes_norm="2168">Thr94Ala) polymorphism (rs2241883) of FABP1, the G-->A (rs529038" genes_norm="6098">Asp2213Asn) polymorphism (rs529038) of ROS1, the -11377C-->G polymorphism (rs266729) of ADIPOQ, the 162A-->C polymorphism (rs4769055) of ALOX5AP, the -786T-->C polymorphism (rs2070744) of NOS3, and the 3279C-->T polymorphism (rs7291467) of LGALS2 were associated (P<0.05) with the prevalence of atherothrombotic cerebral infarction.
Our results suggest that FABP2, IPF1, FABP1, ROS1, ADIPOQ, ALOX5AP, NOS3, and LGALS2 are susceptibility loci for atherothrombotic cerebral infarction among Japanese individuals with metabolic syndrome.
The following combinations of main keywords were used in our study: ('endothelial nitric oxide synthase') or ('eNOS') and ('G894T, 4b/a, and T786C') and ('polymorphism') or ('polymorphisms') and ('Ischemic Stroke' or 'IS') and ('Cerebral Infarction' or 'CI') and ('genetic polymorphism' or 'single nucleotide polymorphisms' or 'SNP').
The present study is the first to demonstrate that the C allele of the eNOS SNP 786 T->C rs2070744 is independently associated with an increased risk for delayed cerebral ischemia following aSAH.
The aim of this study is to determine the role of hereditary thrombophilic factors including factor V Leiden A1691G (FVL), prothrombinG20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene mutations in patients with stroke because of cerebral infarct.
After adjustment for other vascular risk factors, the combination of either factor V Leiden or prothrombinG20210A and PFO was associated with a 4.7-fold (95% CI=1.4 to 16.1; P=0.008) increased risk of cerebral ischemia in young patients.
We investigated the prevalence of MTHFR C677T and prothrombinG20210A genotypes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction enzyme digestion in 420 Chinese subjects: 53 with deep venous thrombosis (DVT); 145 with cerebrovascular disease [115 cerebral infarction, 30 cerebral haemorrhage (CH)]; 100 with coronary artery disease (CAD); and 122 control subjects.
After adjustment for other vascular risk factors, the combination of either factor V Leiden or prothrombin G20210A and PFO was associated with a 4.7-fold (95% CI=1.4 to 16.1; P=0.008) increased risk of cerebral ischemia in young patients.
To determine the prevalence of the factor V Leiden gene mutation in relation to the phenotypes of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, we studied 386 randomly selected cases of acute stroke and 247 control subjects.
Protein kinase C-eta (PRKCH) gene has been recently identified as a susceptible risk locus for cerebral infarction and hemorrhage in the Asian populations.
Recently, a large-scale genetic epidemiological study has shown significant association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the protein kinase C eta (PRKCH) gene with cerebral infarction, particularly, with lacunar infarction.
