In a marker-by-marker analysis, 7 (TEP1, TNKS, and ACD), 11 (TEP1, ACD, and TERT), and 24 (TEP1, TNKS, TERT, TERF2IP, TNKS2, and UCP2) SNPs were associated-at the level of p < 0.05-with the total CVD, MI, and ischemic stroke risk, respectively.
Effects of uncoupling protein 2 -866G/A polymorphism on platelet reactivity and prognosis in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and ischemic stroke.
We aimed to investigate whether -866G/A polymorphism in the promoter of the UCP2 gene, which enhances its transcriptional activity, is associated with functional prognosis in patients with embolic ischemic stroke after early recanalization.
