Key result
The Ala54Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene was not associated with stroke risk in the Hunan Han population of China, but was associated with higher plasma triglyceride levels in stroke patients.

Should not alter stroke risk assessment in Hunan Han; hypothesis-generating for FABP2-triglyceride link.
Case-Control (n=563)
Is the Ala54Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene associated with stroke risk in the Han population of Hunan, China?
The Ala54Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene is not associated with stroke risk in the Hunan Han population, but is associated with higher plasma triglyceride levels in stroke patients.
Yunhai Liu (2014) conducted a case-control in Stroke (n=563). Ala54Thr polymorphism of FABP2 gene vs. Controls without stroke was evaluated on Stroke risk. The Ala54Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene was not associated with stroke risk in the Hunan Han population of China, but was associated with higher plasma triglyceride levels in stroke patients.
