[Association of the IVS9-675C > A polymorphism of the HIF-1alpha gene with acute ischemic stroke in the Moscow population].

The IVS9-675C > A polymorphism of the HIF-1alpha gene was analyzed in patients with acute ischemic stroke and in a control group. The genotype and allele frequencies proved to significantly differ between the two groups. Allele C and genotypes containing this allele were associated with a higher risk of stroke in the Moscow population.
