Protein Z Gene Polymorphisms, Protein Z Concentrations, and Ischemic Stroke
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We aimed to determine whether A-13G or G79A polymorphisms of the protein Z gene that have been reported to be an important determinant of blood concentrations of protein Z are associated with risk of ischemic stroke in a broad range of stroke patients and controls.
METHODS: We conducted a case control study of 151 hospital cases of first-ever ischemic stroke and 164 randomly selected community controls. Protein Z …
