Tag single nucleotide polymorphism rs1532624 located in cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene is associated with atherosclerosis cerebral ischemia

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of rs1532624 and rs289741 loci in cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) genes and atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods:The CETP gene rs1532624 and rs289741 in 95 patients with ACI and 177 healthy subjects were genotyped by MassARRAY mass spectrometry. Each locus genotype and allele frequency distributions were compared.Results:The difference of allele frequency distribution between the rs1532624 (χConclusion:ACI have a positive correlation with rs1532624 polymorphism, and AA genotype may be susceptible factors of ACI.
