Currently, many epidemiological studies have focused on the relationship between IL‐10 (−1082 G/A) SNP and CVDs risk, including CAD, stroke, hypertension, and cerebral infarction, but the results are still controversial (Afzal et al., 2012; Ben‐Hadj‐Khalifa et al., 2010; Karaca, Kayıkçıoğlu, Onay, Gündüz, & Ozkınay, 2011b; Marousi, Ellul, et al., 2011; Zhang, Pan, Ran, & Bing‐Xun, 2007). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and cerebral infarction.
