Angiopoietin-like protein 4 serum levels and gene polymorphisms are associated with large artery atherosclerotic stroke

Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a central player in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis and may thus be involved in ischaemic stroke. However, no study in humans has investigated the association of ANGPTL4 gene polymorphisms or serum levels with ischaemic stroke.
