Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the association of rs964184 of BUD13-ZNF259 gene with the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). A total of 138 HS cases and 587 controls were recruited for the association of rs964184 of BUD13-ZNF259 gene with the risk of HS. Tm shift PCR was used for genotyping. We were unable to find the association of rs964184 of BUD13-ZNF259 gene with the risk of HS (P>0.05). Significant difference was found in the TG level among the three genotypes (CC: 1.51±1.02; CG: 1.68±1.10; GG: 1.90±1.11, P=0.036). The TG level showed strong correlation with rs964184 genotypes (P=0.010, correlation=0.101). Significantly higher TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels were observed in the case group. And no difference was found in the TG, ApoA-I, ApoB. Our case-control study supported the significant association between rs964184 genotype and the blood TG concentration, although we were unable to find association between BUD13-ZNF259 rs964184 and the risk of HS in Han Chinese.
