It has been revealed in a study on ischemic stroke that (Wei, Ke, Zhao, & Cai, 2017) the plasma level of Lp‐PLA2 is significantly higher in the ischemic stroke group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < .05) and that this was more significant in patients with atherosclerotic stroke in the great arteries. The gene discussed is PLA2G7; the disease is ischemic stroke.
