GLU298ASP and 4G/5G Polymorphisms and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Young Individuals

Abstract

The Asp allele from the Gu298Asp gene represents an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke in a young Mexican population. In contrast, the 4G/5G was not associated with an increased risk for this disease in the same group of patients, as previously has been demonstrated in other populations.
