摘      要：Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene may affect the secretion and function of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, thereby affecting the occurrence, severity and prognosis of ischemic stroke. This case-control study included 778 patients (475 males and 303 females, mean age of 64.0 ± 12.6 years) in the acute phase of ischemic stroke and 865 control subjects (438 males and 427 females, mean age of 51.7 ± 14.7 years) from the Department of Neurology, Wes: China Hospital, Sichuan University, China between September 2011 and December 2014. The patients severities of neurological defici:s in the acute phase were assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale immediately after admission to hospital. The ischemic stroke patients were divided into different subtypes according to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification. Early prognosis was evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale when the patients were discharged. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of participants. Genotyping of rs7124442 and rs6265 was performed using Kompetitive Allele Specific polymerase chain reaction genotyping technology. Our results demonstrated that patients who carried the C allele of the rs7124442 locus had a lower risk of poor prognosis than the T allele carriers (odds ratio [OR]= 0.67;95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45-1.00;P = 0.048). The patients with the CC or TC genotype also exhibited lower risk than TT carriers (OR = 0.65;95% CI: 0.42-1.00;P = 0.049). The AA genotype at the rs6265 locus was associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (OR = 0.5& 95% CI: 0.37-0.90;P = 0.015). We found that the C allele (CC and TC genotypes) at the rs7124442 locus may be protective for the prognosis of ischemic stroke. The AA genotype at the rs6265 locus is likely a protective factor against the occurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, China (approval ID number 2008,4]) on July 25, 2008.
