: Recently identified Hero proteins, which possess chaperone-like functions, are promising candidates for research into atherosclerosis-related diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS). : 2204 Russian subjects (917 IS patients and 1287 controls) were genotyped for fifteen common SNPs in Hero20 gene using probe-based PCR and the MassArray-4 system. : Six SNPs were significantly associated with an increased risk of IS in the overall group (OG) and significantly modified by smoking (SMK) and low fruit/vegetable intake (LFVI): rs10766342 (effect allele (EA) A; P( = 0.

The present pilot study investigated whether SNPs are associated with the risk and clinical manifestations of ischemic stroke (IS).
