Phosphodiesterase 4 D Gene Polymorphism in Relation to Intracranial and Extracranial Atherosclerosis in Ischemic Stroke

In ischemic stroke, extracranial MR angiography (ECMRA) is more frequently abnormal in Caucasians and intracranial (ICMRA) in Asians which may have a genetic basis. We report phosphodiesterase (PDE4D) gene polymorphism and its correlation with MRA findings in patients with ischemic stroke.
