Objective: The aim: Investigate the effect of Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene on ischemic atherothrombotic stroke characteristics.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Venous blood of 170 patients with ischemic atherothrombotic stroke (IAS) and 124 patients without cerebrovascular pathology, who made up the control group, used for the study. Lys198Asn (rs5370) polymorphism of the EDN1 gene was determined by the polymerase chain reaction method followed by restriction fragment length analysis.
