Association Between Ghrelin Gene Polymorphism and Cerebral Infarction.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the associations of ghrelin gene polymorphisms at rs26312, rs26802 and rs27647 with cerebral infarction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 200 cerebral infarction patients in our hospital were enrolled as the disease group, while 200 healthy people were enrolled as the control group. Peripheral venous blood was collected from both groups, and the ghrelin gene polymorphisms at rs26312, rs26802, and rs27647 in nucleated cells were detected through sequencing. RESULTS The genotype distribution at ghrelin gene loci rs26802 and rs27647 in the disease group was significantly different from that in the control group. The distribution of recessive model at ghrelin gene locus rs26802 in the disease group was different from that in the control group, in
