| Abstract | Genetic variants of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) gene have been suggested to influence the PAI-1 transcription activity and PAI-1 levels as well as might be involved in the pathophysiology of stroke. The aims of this study are to investigate whether the polymorphisms at the PAI-1 gene are associated with the risk of stroke and to explore the combined effects of PAI-1 variants and combined oral contraceptive (COC) use for stroke risk. We conducted a nested case-control study using 453 first-ever female stroke cases and 919 age- and region-matched controls that were recruited from our prospective surveillance cohort. SNP rs1799889 was genotyped by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and SNPs rs7242 and rs2227631 were detected by the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. We identified that rs1799889 5G allele conferred a protective effect against ischemic stroke while 4G allele conferred an increased risk of ischemic stroke. But we failed to suggest associations of rs7242 and rs2227631. COC users had a 1.31-fold (OR = 1.31, 95 % CI = 1.01–1.71) increased risk of stroke compared with the non-users. Furthermore, COC users with rs1799889 4G5G/5G5G genotype had a decreased risk of ischemic stroke (OR = 0.53, 95 % CI = 0.34–0.83). Moreover, haplotype G-5G-T was associated with an increased risk of overall stroke (OR = 1.28, 95 % CI = 1.01–1.62). In contrast, haplotype A-4G-G and haplotype G-5G-T were slightly associated with the protection from ischemic stroke (OR = 0.61, 95 % CI = 0.46–0.82; OR = 0.61, 95 % CI = 0.44–0.85, respectively). The study assessed the associations of three PAI-1 SNPs and also suggested combined effects of these PAI-1 gene variants and COC use on stroke risk in the Han Chinese women. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
