Lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms as risk factors for stroke: a computational and meta-analysis
Objective(s): Stroke is the most common neurological disorder and genetic susceptibility has an important role in its etiology. Polymorphism in several genes such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is propounded as a risk for stroke. This meta-analysis investigated the association of rs285 and rs320 LPL polymorphism with stroke risk. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, Clarivate Analytics Web o...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a) and Stroke: An Overview
Stroke remains a major cause of mortality and long term severe disability worldwide. Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a predictor of many forms of vascular disease, and may serve as a tool in identifying subjects at risk. Despite accumulating evidence from cross sectional and prospective studies, its role in the development of stroke is still in doubt. Methodological issues regarding measurement rema...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a) and stroke: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship between elevated lipoprotein (a) levels[Lp(a)] and stroke is controversial. We systematically reviewed the literature to determine whether Lp(a) is a risk factor for stroke. METHODS We searched MEDLINE (1966 to 2006), EMBASE (1974 to 2006), and Google scholar for articles on Lp(a) and cerebrovascular disease. From potentially relevant references retriev...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a) and carotid atherosclerosis in young patients with stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated lipoprotein (a) concentration is associated with carotid atherosclerosis in middle-aged and older patients with ischemic stroke. This association has not been explored in young patients with stroke. METHODS A retrospective analysis of data from patients aged 16 to 54 years consecutively treated for acute ischemic stroke in a tertiary stroke unit during 4.5 year...
متن کاملTotal and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and stroke risk.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association of total and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol with stroke risk is unclear, especially regarding hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS We prospectively investigated the associations of serum total and HDL cholesterol and total/HDL cholesterol ratio with total and type-specific stroke incidence among 58,235 Finnish people aged 25 to 74 years and free of co...
