Abstract

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Stenosis or blockage of an artery from atherosclerosis can cause insufficient cerebral blood supply, which leads to ischemic stroke. It has been reported that the polymorphisms of TNFSF4 (tumor necrosis factor super family member 4) are associated with multiple autoimmune diseases. However, it is still unclear whether TNFSF4 gene polymorphisms are associated with ischemic stroke in the Han Chinese population. Here we analyzed the association between TNFSF4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cerebral arterial thrombosis in the Han Chinese population. We consecutively recruited 481 patients with cerebral arterial thrombosis and 538 healthy controls. Neck ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to evaluate large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and small vessel disease (SVD), as well as the thickness and calcification of carotid artery. DNA was purified from the peripheral blood samples. TNFSF4 SNPs, rs1234313 and rs45454293, were genotyped using PCR. rs1234313 SNP had a significant correlation with the LAA and SVD subtypes in allelic (G vs A), dominate (GG/GA vs AA) and genotypic (GA vs AA; GG vs AA) models, as well as with the cal...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Carotid Artery Diseases

Carotid artery disease is a group of pathological conditions of the carotid artery. Discover the latest research on carotid artery disease here.
