Conflicting reports in the literature exist with regard to the association of apolipoprotein E (apo E) alleles and lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism is an established risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) that is related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy in the white population.
We investigated relationships between polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, and plasma levels of HCY and folate in patients of Mongolian races who suffered from cerebral ischemia (CI, n = 42) or cerebral hemorrhage (CH, n = 20) and in the 24 age-matched controls.
Since hypertension and atherosclerosis are major mechanisms in stroke development, we hypothesized that genetic variants of the ER alpha gene (ESR1) are determinants of future ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
We evaluated the role of the TUBB1 Q43P polymorphism and its synergism with other polymorphisms in the risk of developing subarachnoid (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
We studied polymorphisms of the ApoH gene by the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism technique and DNA sequencing in 140 PICH patients and 100 healthy control subjects.
Essential role of endogenous tissue plasminogen activator through matrix metalloproteinase 9 induction and expression on heparin-produced cerebral hemorrhage after cerebral ischemia in mice.
