| Abstract: | Background The microsatellite polymorphism of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 gene promoter has been shown to be associated with the susceptibility
to ischemic event, including coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease. We aimed
to examine whether the length of (GT)n repeats in HO-1 gene promoter is associated with ischemic stroke in people with CAD risk factors, especially low level of
HDL. |
