  • Single nucleotide polymorphism associated with stroke susceptibility
    Publication number: 20070099223
    Abstract: The present invention identifies various risk alleles, particularly a risk allele of SNP rs918592, within the PDE4D gene as novel stroke associated risk markers. These markers may be used for identifying a subject's susceptibility to stroke and diagnosing a subject's susceptibility to a particular type of stroke based on the presence of the risk allele. The markers are found in the human population, particularly the human female population, across different ethnicities. The marker further reveals an environmental impact on a subject's susceptibility to stroke, showing a dose dependent relationship.
