Association of CXCL1 promoter polymorphism with ischaemic stroke in Korean population

This is a pilot study analysing association of chemokine gene polymorphisms (CXCL1, rs3117604; CXCL2, rs3806792; CCL2, rs2857656 and rs3760396; CCL5, rs2107538) in Korean patients with ischemic stroke (IS) (n=120) and age-matched controls (n=267). The CXCL1 gene and particularly T allele of rs3117604 was associated with IS.
