Association between miR-30 polymorphism and ischemic stroke in Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a commonly seen cerebrovascular disease which seriously endangers the health of middle age and old people. However, its etiology and pathogenesis have not yet fully comprehended. miR-30 gene is a novel gene which may be involved in IS. However, no studies have investigated the relationship between IS and the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miR-30. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between miR-30 polymorphisms (rs2222722, rs1192037, rs10095483 and rs16827546) and the risk of IS.

Methods

Totally 248 IS patients and 230 age-, sex- and race-matched controls were involved in this study. Based on SNPscan technique, four polymorphisms (rs2222722, rs1192037, rs10095483 and rs16827546) were genotyped.
