Abstract
PPARδ belongs to a receptor family of ligand-activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of inflammation, cellular glucose uptake, protection against atherosclerosis and endothelial cell function. Through these effects, they might be involved with the ischemic stroke (IS). We recruited 200 subjects (100 IS patients diagnosed by CTs or/and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 100 normal healthy controls from Chinese Uyghur population) to assess the nature of the functional polymorphisms of PPARδ +294T/C and any links with IS in this unique population. We found that the C allele of the PPARδ +294T/C polymorphism was more common in controls than IS subjects in the Uyghur population. C allele carriage may be associated with an increased risk of IS in Uyghurs with a strong trend (OR 1.79, 95% CI: 1.11-2.89). Additionally, the PPARδ CC and TC genotypes were less frequent in Uyghur population than in Han population. Our population and ethnic-based study demonstrates that the PPARδ +294C allele maybe an independent risk of IS in Chinese Uyghurs especially in the male (OR 1.99, 95%CI:1.06-3.72) and obesity populations (OR 2.36, 95%CI: 1.19-4.67), which were consistent with Tunisian Population. Moreover, total cholesterol,...Continue Reading
