N2 - Platelet plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein (GP) genes has been reported to be associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between platelet GP genetic variants and ischemic stroke in young Taiwanese. We conducted a case-control study in 157 young ischemic stroke patients recruited between September 2001 and March 2003 and 157 age- and sex-matched controls. The genotypes of platelet GP Ia C807T, GP Ib C3550T, and GP IIIa Pl A1/A2 polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Student's t-test, chi-square test, and logistic regression modeling were used for data analyses. The GP Ia C807T CC, CT and TT genotype frequencies were similar between patients (50.3%, 43.9%, 5.7%) and controls (53.5%, 38.9%, 7.6%; p=0.58). There were no significant differences in GP Ib C3550T CC and CT genotype distributions between patients (91.1%, 8.9%) and controls (91.7%, 8.3%; p=0.84). Of all subjects, none carries GP IIIa Pl A2 mutation. In conclusion, platelet GP Ia C807T and GP Ib C3550T polymorphisms in our population are less common compared with Caucasians, and GP IIIa Pl A1/A2 genetic mutation is not found, and all of them are not associated with ischemic stroke in young Taiwanese.
