Polymorphism of the complement 5 gene is associated with large artery atherosclerosis stroke in Chinese patients.
Arquivos de Neuro-psiquiatria 2016 November
Methods: C5 rs17611 genetic variants were investigated in 494 IS patients and 330 control individuals .Ischemic stroke was classified into subtypes and patients were assessed 90 days post-stroke with the modified Rankin Scale to determine stroke outcome.
Results: The presence of C5 polymorphism was associated with the incidence of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA)-subtype IS (n =2 00; p = 0.031), which even persisted after adjustment for covariates (OR = 1.518; 95%CI = 1.093-2.018; p = 0.013). However, no association was found between genotypes and the severity and outcome of stroke (p = 0.978; p = 0.296).
Conclusions: The C5 polymorphism might contribute to the risk of LAA-subtype IS independently of other known risk predictors.
