- Abstract
The article focuses on the influence of common mitochondrial sequence variants on the risk of ischemic stroke. It says that rare mitochondrial mutations cause neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke. It states that multicenter mitochondrial genome-wide association study (mtGWAS) was performed to explore stroke with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It adds that the common variations in the mitochondrial genome are associated with ischemic stroke.
