Examination of Genetic Variants Revealed from a Rat Model of Brain Ischemia in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Although there has been great progress in understanding the genetic bases of ischemic stroke (IS), many of its aspects remain underexplored. These include the genetics of outcomes, as well as problems with the identification of real causative loci and their functional annotations. Therefore, analysis of the results obtained from animal models of brain ischemia could be helpful. We have developed a bioinformatic approach exploring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human orthologues of rat genes expressed differentially under conditions of induced brain ischemia. Using this approach, we identified and analyzed nine SNPs in 553 Russian individuals (331 patients with IS and 222 controls). We explored the association of SNPs with both IS outcomes and with the risk of IS. SNP rs66782529
