Polymorphism in Integrin ITGA2 is Associated with Ischemic Stroke and Altered Serum Cholesterol in Chinese Individuals

Abstract: Ischemic stroke commonly affects older individuals in China and worldwide. Such events are caused by a blood clot that blocks a vessel supplying blood to the brain. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of ischemic stroke are not fully understood. Genetics may play an important role in these events; indeed, rapid progress through the Human Genome Project has allowed the localisation and identification of genes related to ischemic stroke (1). Some single-gene disorders such as Fabry disease and sickle cell dis… Show more

“…Finally, 28 studies in Chinese and 32 in English were eligible for the meta-analysis on the different genetic variants of the GP genes. Of them, 56 studies were full-length reports published in peer-reviewed journals 3186 and 4 were thesis of Master’s degree. 87–90 The characteristics of studies included and polymorphisms involved in this review are summarized in Tables 1 and 2, while a summary of the total number of studies on different genetic variants of the GP genes, including the number of cases and controls and proportion of those studies originating from Caucasian or Asian populations are provided in Table 3.…”

“…The frequency of T allele in AR group was higher than that in AS group, the difference was statistically significant, suggesting that carrying 807T allele in women increased the incidence of biochemical AR. Studies have found that the expression of the 807T allele increased the level of cholesterol from atherosclerosis 18. In this study, genotype CT + TT/CC grouping, compared between the two groups of total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein, blood glucose, uric acid, and other related factors, no significant differences were found, and the mechanism need for further study.…”

“…As a key member of the integrin family of adhesion molecules, ITGA2 mediates cell-cell, cell-matrix, and cell-matrix-cell adhesions [ 17 ]. It therefore affects various physiological and pathological processes such as inflammatory reactions, immune responses, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis [ 18 ]. KD is characterized by multisystem involvement and inflammation of all medium-sized arteries, including the coronary artery [ 19 ].…”
