Case-control study on the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene I/D rs4646944 single nucleotide polymorphism and young-onset cryptogenic ischemic stroke in an Algerian cohort
Abstract Background Numerous studies have shown a link between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ischemic stroke. Cryptogenic ischemic stroke is the most commonly recorded form of ischemic stroke among young adults. The insertion/deletion (I/D) variant of ACE (rs4646994) has been linked to ischemic stroke. Ob...
