Abstract

To investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of eicosanoid biosynthesis genes are associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and ischemic stroke (IS), seven SNPs in the coding or promoter regions were selected: ALOX12 (rs434473, Asn322Ser), ALOX5 (rs2228064, Thr90Thr), ALOX5AP (rs17222919, -1316T/G), PTGES (rs7872802, -404A/G), PTGIS (rs5628, Leu256Leu), PTGS1 (rs3842788, Gln41Gln) and PTGS2 (rs5275, 3'UTR). A total of 398 control subjects and 196 stroke patients (79 ICH and 117 IS) were genotyped by direct sequencing. The rs17222919 SNP was associated with ICH in codominant 1 (P=0.008), dominant (P=0.003) and log-additive (P=0.004) models. Allele frequencies of rs17222919 were different between ICH and controls (P=0.007). However, the seven tested SNPs were not associated with clinical phenotypes (NIHSS, MBI and CRPS) in ICH and IS. These results suggest that the promoter SNP rs17222919 of ALOX5AP may be associated with the development of ICH in Korean population.
