Genetic association between inflammatory genes (IL-1α,CD14, LGALS2, PSMA6)and risk of ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis

Conclusion Our meta-analysis shows that IL-1α (−C889T and −C511T), CD14 (−C159T), LGALS2 (−C3279T) and gene polymorphisms are not significantly associated with the risk of IS while PSMA6 (−C8G) gene polymorphism may play a protective role with the susceptibility of IS. Further prospective large epidemiological studies are needed to confirm these findings in different populations.
