ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recently, CELSR1 was identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as a susceptibility gene for ischaemic stroke (IS) in Japanese individuals.AIM:
The goal was to examine whether CELSR1 variants are associated with IS in the Chinese Han population. SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
This study genotyped two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CELSR1, rs6007897 and rs4044210, in a Chinese sample of 569 IS cases and 581 controls and assessed their genotype and allele associations with IS.RESULTS:
The results showed that rs6007897 and rs4044210 variants of CELSR1 were significantly (p < 0.01) associated with IS. These associations remained after adjustment for age, gender, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. In addition, a significant association was observed of rs6007897 and rs4044210 of CELSR1 with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), a sub-type of IS (p < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Taken together, the present study has proven for the first time that CELSR1 is a susceptibility gene for IS in the Chinese Han population, especially for LAA.Palavras-chave
