The present study supported the results of a former collaborative analysis,[16] which documented the association of Lp-PLA2 protein and activity levels with the levels of proatherogenic lipids after adjustment for conventional risk factors (RRs) that were 1.14 (95% CI, 1.02–1.27) and 1.08 (95% CI, 0.97–1.20) for ischemic stroke, respectively. Here, PLA2G7 is linked to ischemic stroke.
