Association between PDE4D polymorphism and ischemic stroke in young population.

Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the association between the polymorphisms of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4D gene (SNP83 and SNP87) and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in Chinese young population.MethodsThis study included 393 patients who were divided into IS group and non-IS group. Semiconductor high-throughput sequencing technology and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed.ResultsIn the case group, the frequency of CC genotype and C allele of the SNP83 gene was significantly higher than that in the control group. There was no significant difference in genotype frequency distribution of SNP87 between the two groups.ConclusionWe found an association between SNP83 and the risk of IS in Chinese young population from northern Henan province. There was not a significant association between SNP87 and IS in Chinese young population.
