Gene polymorphisms and circulating levels of the TNF-alpha are associated with ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis based on 19,873 individuals.
CONCLUSIONS: Rs1800629 and rs1800610 polymorphisms were elucidated to be a protective factor for IS (especially in Asians) and a risk factor for Asians patients, respectively. The TNF-α level was elevated in IS, indicating that TNF-α plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IS and is a promising therapeutic target for IS.
