Abstract
PURPOSE Vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI) can be used to evaluate the nature of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) plaque in vivo. Phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) participates in stroke development. This study aims to explore the value of VW-MRI findings and the PDE4D gene variant in predicting stroke recurrence in patients with ICAS. METHODS We prospectively recruited 324 symptomatic ICAS patients. VW-MRI was performed to determine luminal and wall changes. PDE4D gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-namely, SNP32, SNP83, and SNP87-were determined by direct sequencing. The risk factors of stroke recurrence were analyzed using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Of the 324 subjects, 97 (29.9%) experienced recurrent ischemic stroke during the follow-up period. A total of 254 patients (78.4%) showed plaque enhancement; 87 of these patients experienced stroke recurrence. The CT/CC genotype frequencies of PDE4D83 were significantly higher in participants with recurrent stroke than in patients without stroke recurrence (p = 0.019 and p < 0.001, respectively). However, the PDE4D32 and PDE4D87 variants were not correlated with recurrent stroke. Multivariate analysis showed that plaque enhancement from VW-MRI (HR 4.52, 95% CI 2.35-8.73, p < 0.001) and the PDE4D83 variant (HR 7.43, 95% CI 1.75-31.87, p = 0.005) were independently correlated with stroke recurrence. Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences in stroke recurrence rates between the plaque-enhanced group and the non-enhanced group (p < 0.001) and between the PDE4D83 variant carriers and noncarriers (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Plaque enhancement on VW-MRI and the presence of the PDE4D83 variant are associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in subjects with symptomatic ICAS.

Role of Uncoupling Protein 2 Gene Polymorphisms on the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in a Sardinian Population. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12050721. [PMID: 35629388 PMCID: PMC9147365 DOI: 10.3390/life12050721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
The mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) acts as an anion transporter and as an antioxidant factor able to reduce the reactive oxygen species level. Based on its effects, UCP2 prevents the membrane lipids, proteins, and DNA damage while preserving normal cellular functions. Many variants have been identified within the human UCP2. Some of them were associated with a higher risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in different populations. UCP2 appears a suitable candidate also for the risk of ischemic stroke. In the current study, we investigated the possible association between few variants of UCP2 (rs659366, rs660339, rs1554995310) and the risk of ischemic stroke in a genetically homogenous cohort of cases and controls selected in Sardinia Island. This population has been previously analysed for other candidate genes. A total of 250 cases of ischemic stroke and 241 controls were enrolled in the study. The allelic/genotypic distribution of the 3 UCP2 variants was characterized and compared among cases and controls. The results of our study confirmed known risk factors for ischemic stroke: age, history of smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and atrial fibrillation. No association was found between the 3 UCP2 variants and the risk of ischemic stroke in our Sardinian cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been substantial research evaluating the relationship between arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) polymorphisms and ischemic stroke (IS). The objective of this study was to systematically review and analyze the existing evidence. METHODS A comprehensive search of major electronic databases for studies published between 1990 and 2018 was carried out. Data were synthesized as OR and 95% CI using fixed-effects and random-effects models. RESULTS A total of 30 studies were available for analysis. The aggregate sample size across all studies was 32,782 (16,294 cases and 16,488 controls). We found no association of the ALOX5AP rs10507391 (OR=1.03 for A allele vs T allele; 95% CI: 0.93-1.14; P=0.557), rs4769874 (OR=1.13 for A allele vs G allele; 95% CI: 1.00-1.28; P=0.050), rs9551963 (OR=1.03 for A allele vs C allele; 95% CI: 0.96-1.11; P=0.372), rs17222814 (OR=1.09 for A allele vs G allele; 95% CI: 0.96-1.24; P=0.195), rs17222919 (OR=0.89 for G allele vs T allele; 95% CI: 0.75-1.06; P=0.175), and rs4073259 (OR=1.20 for A allele vs G allele; 95% CI: 1.00-1.45; P=0.056) polymorphisms with IS risk. Haplotype analysis also did not yield significant findings for the HapA (rs17222814G-rs10507391T-rs4769874G-rs9551963A; OR=1.20; 95% CI: 0.91-1.56; P=0.192) and HapB (rs17216473A-rs10507391A-rs9315050A-rs17222842G; OR=1.11; 95% CI: 0.90-1.38; P=0.339) haplotypes. CONCLUSION Current evidence does not support an association of rs10507391, rs4769874, rs9551963, rs17222814, rs17222919, rs4073259, and HapA and HapB with IS risk.

Abstract
PDE4D polymorphism (SNP83/rs966221) was reported to be associated with the susceptibility to ischemic stroke (IS), however, the results were inconclusive. An electronic search of Embase, PubMed, CNKI and Wan Fang Date was performed to identify relevant studies published throughout April 2017. A total of 26 studies were enrolled in the analysis. No significant association between the rs9662221 polymorphism and IS was observed in the overall analysis. Nevertheless, in the subgroup analysis, our results showed a significant association between the SNP83 polymorphism and IS in CC+ CT vs. TT (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.02-1.38), CT vs.TT (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01-1.29) and C vs. T (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06-1.48) in Asian population. But we did not found any association in CC vs. CT + TT (OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 0.9-1.61) and CC vs. TT (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.91-1.75) in the Asian populations. Meantime, no significant correlations were observed under the five genetic model in Caucasian population (p > 0.05). In conclusion, our meta-analysis demonstrated that the SNP83 polymorphism in the PDE4D gene might contribute to IS susceptibility especially in Asian populations. Whereas the relationship of the polymorphism to the disease in Caucasian population was still in controversial. In future, additional well designed studies with larger sample sizes are still required to further elucidate this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Ischemic stroke (IS) accounts for around 80-85% of total stroke and is a complex polygenic multi-factorial disorder which is affected by a complex combination of vascular, environmental, and genetic factors. OBJECTIVE The study was conducted with an aim to examine the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PDE4D (T83C, C87T, and C45T) gene with increasing risk of IS in patients in North Indian population. METHODS In this hospital-based case-control study, 250 IS subjects and 250 age-and sex-matched control subjects were enrolled from the Neurosciences Centre, A.I.I.M.S., New Delhi, India. Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) were extracted using the conventional Phenol-Chloroform isolation method. Different genotypes were determined by Polymerase chain reaction- Restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of relationship of polymorphisms with risk of IS were calculated by conditional multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS High blood pressure, low socioeconomic status, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and family history of stroke were observed to be statistically significant risk factors for IS. Multivariable adjusted analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between SNP 83 of PDE4D gene polymorphism and increasing odds of IS under the dominant model of inheritance (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.50; p value = 0.04) after adjustment of potential confounding variables. Stratified analysis on the basis of TOAST classification demonstrated a statistically significant association for increasing 2.73 times odds for developing large vessel disease stroke as compared to controls (OR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.16 to 0.02; p value = 0.02). We did not find any significant association of SNPs (C87T and C45T) of the PDE4D gene with the risk of IS. CONCLUSION SNP 83 of PDE4D gene may increase the risk for developing IS whereas SNP 87 and SNP45 of PDE4D may not be associated with the risk of IS in the North Indian population. Prospective cohort studies are required to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the association between phosphodiesterase 4D gene (PDE4D) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and ischemic stroke (IS) risk, and impact of additional SNP- SNP and gene- smoking interaction on IS risk in Chinese population. METHODS A total of 1228 subjects (666 males, 562 females) were selected, including 610 IS patients and 618 control subjects. Logistic regression model was used to examine the association between SNPs in PDE4D gene and IS risk. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was employed to analyze the SNP- SNP and gene- smoking interaction. RESULTS IS risks were significantly higher in carriers of A allele of rs12188950 polymorphism than those with GG genotype (GA + AA vs. GG), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 1.61 (1.26-2.19), and also significantly higher in carriers of T allele of rs966221 polymorphism than those with CC (CT + TT vs. CC), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 1.82 (1.39-2.23). We found that there was a significant SNP- SNP interaction between rs966221 and rs12188950. Subjects with CT or TT of rs966221 and GA or AA of rs12188950 genotype have the highest IS risk, compared to subjects with CC of rs966221 and GG of rs12188950 genotype, OR (95%CI) was 3.52 (2.68-4.69). We also found a significant gene-environment interaction between rs966221 and smoking. Smokers with CT or TT of rs966221 genotype have the highest IS risk, compared to never smokers with CC of rs966221 genotype, OR (95%CI) was 3.97 (2.25-5.71). CONCLUSIONS Our results support an important association of rs966221 and rs12188950 minor allele and its interaction with increased risk of IS risk, and additional interaction between rs966221 and smoking.

Abstract
The association between ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) susceptibility has extensively been investigated, especially in white populations; however, the results were inconclusive. Here, we perform a meta-analysis to clarify the effect of SG13S114 variant on the IS risk in Europeans. The Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline were searched up to August 1st, 2016. Data were extracted and the odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by a fixed-effects or random-effects model. In total, 8 case control studies involved 8062 subjects were finally included in this meta-analysis. We observed a significantly decreased IS risk in persons carrying an A allele at the SG13S114 polymorphism compared with those with a T allele (A vs T, OR = 0.856, 95% CI = 0.797-0.919, p < 0.001). In addition, the results of sensitivity and cumulative meta-analysis indicated the robustness of our results. In addition, the publication bias was not detected using the funnel plot and Egger's tests. In summary, the present meta-analysis suggested that the A allele at the ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism is a protective factor for the IS in the Europeans. In addition, further studies with large sample size are needed to validate the association, as well as in other ethnic groups.

Abstract
No coding sequence variants of the gene encoding 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) leading to amino acid substitutions have been identified. Therefore, variants in the ALOX5AP promoter region have received attention recently. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the promoter polymorphism rs17222919 is involved in the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese Han population. We investigated the rs17222919 polymorphism by TaqMan genotyping in two independent Chinese Han samples: the first comprised 910 IS patients and 925 healthy inhabitants from the northern Henan Province, while the second included 1003 IS patients and 889 healthy controls from the southern Henan Province. Functional characterization of rs17222919 was performed by an in vitro luciferase assay. After adjusting for conventional risk factors, the G allele frequencies in the IS groups were significantly lower than that in the control groups of the two independent Chinese cohorts (19.0% vs. 22.9%, P = 0.004, odds ratio (OR) = 0.792, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.675-0.929; 18.8% vs. 22.9%, P = 0.002, OR = 0.782, 95% CI = 0.668-0.915, respectively). This was also observed in the large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and stroke of other undetermined etiology (SUE) subtypes (P = 0.019, OR = 0.815, 95% CI = 0.687-0.967; P = 0.021, OR = 0.815, 95% CI = 0.685-0.970, respectively). Additionally, the TG genotype and G allele frequencies were significantly lower in the IS compared with the control group in two female cohorts (P<0.05). Finally, the in vitro luciferase assay demonstrated that the G allele has a significantly lower transcription activity than the T allele (P = 0.031). Our study provides evidence that the promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17222919 is a potential genetic protective factor for IS in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-lipoxygenase protein (ALOX5AP) has been recognized as a susceptibility gene for stroke and coronary artery diseases. The present study was to explore the role of this gene in the eastern Chinese patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS Using a case-control design, we studied 658 patients with ischemic stroke and 704 unrelated population-based controls who were age- and sex-matched. The 658 patients were classified by the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST). Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering ALOX5AP were genotyped. RESULTS The genotype frequencies of TG of the SNPs rs17222919 located in the promoter of the ALOX5AP gene were significantly higher in patients with ischemic stroke than in controls (OR (*)=1.34, 95%CI(*)=1.02-1.75), especially in patients with ischemic stroke caused by small-artery occlusion (SAO) (OR (*)=1.40, 95%CI(*)=1.02-1.93). Meanwhile, the genotype frequencies of TG and TG/GG were higher in female patients than in the controls. After specification, the genotype frequencies of TG and TG/GG were higher in the patients than in controls with hypertension. The genotype frequencies of AG and AG/GG of the SNPs rs9579646 located in the intron of the ALOX5AP gene were higher in the controls than in the patients. After specification, the genotype frequencies of TG were higher in the controls than patients without hypertension. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that sequence variants in the ALOX5AP gene are significantly associated with ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups affect the assembly and stability of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is potentially related to susceptibility to ischemic stroke (IS). However, the role of mtDNA in IS has not been comprehensively studied. The purpose of this study was to explore whether mtDNA polymorphisms and haplogroups are involved in the etiology of IS in the Chinese Han population. We recruited 200 patients with IS and 200 matched controls and genotyped them for 18 mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphisms defining the major Eastern Asian haplogroups by SNaPshot minisequencing. We also sequenced the hypervariable segment I (HVS-I), position 16051-16400. The prevalence of haplogroup D4b was significantly lower in IS patients than in healthy controls (0 and 8 %, respectively, corrected P = 2 × 10(-5), odds ratio = 0.028, 95 % confidence interval = 0.002-0.468).The positive association between haplogroup D4b and IS may be related to the protective effect of haplogroup D4b against oxidative damage, which decreases the risk of IS. Our study provides the first evidence that haplogroup D4b is a potential genetic protective factor for IS in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Previous studies have implicated that two at-risk haplotypes (HapA and HapB) of gene-encoding 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) were significantly associated with stroke. The aim of this study was to explore the association between haplotypes of ALOX5AP gene and risk for ischemic stroke (IS) in Chinese Han population. A total of 492 patients with IS and 490 matched control subjects were recruited. Six ALOX5AP SNPs (SG13S377, SG13S114, SG13S41, SG13S89, SG13S32 and SG13S35) were genotyped by SNaPshot minisequence technique. A common genetic variant SG13S114/AA in the ALOX5AP gene was associated with IS in this Chinese cohort (OR = 2.514, 95 % CI = 1.667 ~ 3.790). HapA (TGA) and HapB (AAAG) had no significant difference in the patients (36.3 and 18.5 %, respectively) and controls (37.6 and 16.3 %, respectively) (P = 0.631 and P = 0.375, respectively). But, the frequency of Hap (GAAG) was significantly higher in the patients than that in the controls after Bonferroni's adjustment (P = 0.006). To conclude, SG13S114/AA of the ALOX5AP gene was associated with an increased risk for IS. A novel risk haplotype, Hap (GAAG) was a genetic risk factor for IS in this Chinese population.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene SG13S114 polymorphism is associated with risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the results remain inconclusive even in Chinese population. A meta-analysis of 10 case-control studies was conducted on the relationship between ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism and susceptibility to IS in Chinese population published domestically and abroad from September 2007 to December 2012. Data were extracted by two authors and pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Meta-analysis results showed that the significant association between SG13S114 variant and IS was found under the allelic (OR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96, P=0.004), dominant (OR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.62-0.92, P=0.005), and recessive (OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.82-0.97, P=0.005) genetic models in Chinese population. In subgroup meta-analysis, SG13S114 variant and atherothrombotic stroke, rather than lacunar stroke, showed the significant association under the allelic (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.80-0.92, P<0.0001), dominant (OR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.91, P=0.006), and recessive (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.95, P=0.002) models. ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to IS in Chinese population.

Abstract
Background Stroke is the second most common cause of death and major cause of disability worldwide. The SNP 83 in PDE4D gene has been suggested as a risk factor in ischemic stroke, but direct evidence from genetic association studies remains inconclusive even in Chinese population. Methods Meta-analysis of case-control studies on the relationship between SNP 83 in PDE4D gene and susceptibility to ischemic stroke in Chinese population published domestically and abroad from January 2003 to September 2012. Results 9 case-control studies were selected. Meta-analysis results showed that the significant association between SNP 83 and ischemic stroke was found under the dominant model (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.20–1.49) and recessive model (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.19–1.76) in Chinese population. In subgroup meta-analysis, SNP 83 and atherothrombotic stroke, rather than lacunar stroke, showed the significant association under the dominant model (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.41–2.01) and recessive model (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.04–2.06). Conclusions The results suggest that SNP 83 in PDE4D gene is significantly associated with susceptibility to ischemic stroke in Chinese population.

Abstract
Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke. This study was aimed to explore the association of ALOX5AP variants with ischemic stroke risk in Han Chinese of eastern China. A total of 690 ischemic stroke cases and 767 controls were recruited. The subjects were further subtyped according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria. On the basis of that, two polymorphisms of the ALOX5AP gene (rs10507391 and rs12429692) were determined by TaqMan genotyping assay. In addition, plasma leukotriene B4 (LTB4) levels were analyzed in these subjects. There was no evidence of association between the two variants of ALOX5AP and the risk of ischemic stroke or its TOAST-subtypes. Haplotype analysis and stratification analysis according to sex, age, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes also showed negative association. Analysis of LTB4 levels in a subset of cases and controls revealed that LTB4 levels were significantly higher in ischemic stroke cases than in the controls (70.06±14.75 ng/L vs 57.34±10.93 ng/L; P = 0.000) and carriers of the T allele of the rs10507391 variant were associated with higher plasma LTB4 levels (P = 0.000). The present study suggests there is no association of the two polymorphisms in the ALOX5AP gene with ischemic stroke risk in Han Chinese of eastern China.

Abstract
This study was aimed to explore the association of genetic variation in members of the leukotrienes biosynthesis pathway as potential mediators with ischemic stroke (IS) risk in Eastern Han Chinese. A case-control study of was conducted with five selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the single-locus analysis, carriers of C allele of rs730012 in LTC4S were more susceptible to IS (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02-1.60; P=0.033). Under the recessive genetic model, ALOX5 rs2029253 variant reduced IS risk (adjusted OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.60-1.00; P=0.048) while LTA4H rs6538697 and LTC4S rs730012 variants increased (adjusted OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.04-2.64; P=0.032 and adjusted OR, 3.63; 95% CI, 1.01-13.05; P=0.048, respectively). However, there was no evidence of association between all five SNPs and IS risk after correction for multiple testing. In combined analysis of multiple genes and loci, individuals with ALOX5AP rs12429692 T allele, ALOX5 rs2029253 A allele, and LTA4H rs6538697 C allele suggested a significantly increased susceptibility to IS (adjusted OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.07-2.69; P=0.024). The present study suggested gene-gene interactions in leukotrienes pathway could exert influences on the risk of IS.

Abstract
Introduction Studies suggest that ethnicity and racial factors has an important role in the variation in epidemiology of stroke. The present study was conducted to assess the subtypes, risk factors, and outcome of stroke in the tribal community of Jharkhand state and to compare it with that in the non-tribals from the same geographical location. Methods We carried out a hospital-based prospective observational study at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences-Ranchi. Patients of acute stroke, reporting to the medical outpatient department and emergency department from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2010 were studied. Computed tomography scan was done immediately and again after 24 h to confirm the diagnosis of stroke. To compare the findings between tribal and non-tribal patients, we used chi-square test/Fisher exact test as appropriate. Results Of the total 1156 patients included in the study, 536 were tribals, while 620 were non-tribals. Significant differences were found in tribal stroke patients as compared with non-tribals: mean age of tribal subjects was 53·8 years (60·8 years in non-tribals); stroke in young individual was present in 25% of tribal subjects (17% in non-tribals, P = 0·01); primary intracerebral hemorrhage variety was present in 31% of tribals (18% in non-tribals, P-value < 0·001); the 28th day case fatality rate was 43% among tribal subjects (35% among non-tribals, P = 0·02). Hypertension and alcohol abuse was found to be associated with intracerebral hemorrhage in tribal subjects, although no such association was found in non-tribals. Conclusion Tribals have early onset, poor outcomes and higher proportion of ICH compared to non-tribals. [Correction added after online publication 7 Aug 2012: The sentence ‘Tribals have early with non-tribals.’ in the Conclusion section of the abstract was deleted.]

Abstract
An association between phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene and risk of stroke has been suggested by deCODE group in an Icelandic population. In the present case-control study we investigated the association of SNP41 (rs12153798) and SNP56 (rs702553) with ischemic stroke and stroke subtypes. Five hundred and sixteen ischemic stroke patients and 513 healthy age and sex matched controls were included in the study. The genotypes were determined by subjecting the PCR products to sequencing. Both the SNPs 56 and 41 associated significantly with stroke [adjusted OR=1.97; 95% CI (1.262-3.082); p=0.003: adjusted OR=5.42; 95% CI (3.45-8.5); p<0.001 respectively]. In addition to this, a novel SNP at position 59736747 T>G was found while sequencing the PCR products including SNP56. This novel SNP was found in patients as well as controls but did not show a significant association with the disease. We found significant association of SNPs 56 and 41 with large artery atherosclerosis, lacunar and cardioembolic stroke. In conclusion PDE4D gene plays a key part in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke in the South Indian population from Andhra Pradesh.

Abstract
Previous reports have shown ambiguous findings regarding the possible associations between ischaemic stroke (IS) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene region. The SNP rs12188950 (or SNP45) has often been studied in this context. We performed a multi-centre study involving a large sample of 2599 IS patients and 2093 control subjects from the south and west regions of Sweden to replicate previous studies regarding IS risk and rs12188950. Subjects from Lund Stroke Register (LSR), Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDC) and Sahlgrenska Academy Study on Ischemic Stroke (SAHLSIS) were enroled. Subgroups of participants with hypertension and participants <55 years of age, as well as the TOAST subgroups large vessel disease, small vessel disease and cardioembolism, were also assessed. Univariate odds ratios (ORs) and ORs controlling for hypertension, diabetes and current smoking were calculated. We additionally performed a meta-analysis including 10,500 patients and 10,102 control subjects from 17 publications (including the present study). When assessing pooled data from LSR, MDC and SAHLSIS we obtained no association between IS and rs12188950 for all participants (OR=0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83-1.05). Significant associations were not found for hypertensive participants or participants with age <55, or when separately evaluating patients from the three different TOAST subgroups. The meta-analysis showed no significant overall estimate (OR=0.96; 95% CI: 0.89-1.04) with significant heterogeneity for random effect (P=0.042). No effect from rs12188950 on IS was found from either our pooled multi-centre data or the performed meta-analysis. We did not find any association between the examined subgroups and rs12188950 either.

Abstract
The arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene has been associated with stroke. The majority of the reported ALOX5AP associations have considered non-radiologically confirmed infarcts as the stroke phenotype. We assessed the association of genetic variants in ALOX5AP with stroke defined by the presence of infarcts on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We studied 202 persons with MRI-defined brain infarcts and 487 healthy individuals of Caribbean Hispanic ancestry. Another sample of European ancestry comprised 1823 persons with MRI-defined brain infarct and 7578 control subjects. Subjects were genotyped for the 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that define ALOX5AP HapA haplotype. No association was found between SNPs and MRI-defined brain infarcts. Our data do not support the hypothesis that variants in ALOX5AP are associated with risk of MRI-defined brain infarcts.

Abstract
Expression of cyclic adenosine monophosphate-specific phosphodiesterase 7B (PDE7B) mRNA is increased in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), thus suggesting that variation may occur in the PDE7B gene in CLL. As genetic variation in other PDE family members has been shown to associate with numerous clinical disorders (reviewed in this manuscript), we sought to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PDE7B gene promoter and coding region of 93 control subjects and 154 CLL patients. We found that the PDE7B gene has a 5' non-coding region SNP -347C>T that occurs with similar frequency in CLL patients (1.9%) and controls (2.7%). Tested in vitro, -347C>T has less promoter activity than a wild-type construct. The low frequency of this 5' untranslated region variant indicates that it does not explain the higher PDE7B expression in patients with CLL but it has the potential to influence other settings that involve a role for PDE7B.
