Association between two key SNPs on chromosome 12p13 and ischemic stroke in Chinese Han population

Abstract

The A allele of SNP rs11833579 on chromosome 12p13 may play a role in mediating susceptibility to IS in the Han Chinese population in a recessive model. The A-G haplotype is also significantly associated with higher IS risk in the Han Chinese population. However, larger populations are warranted to validate our findings.
