SLC26A11, a product of the SLC26A family of anion transporters, has been associated with both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease; notably, it was postulated that SLC26A11 tagged multiple variants of RNF213 associated with young-onset IS [29], and SLC26A11 was detected from blood samples of patients with ST-elevation MI [30]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC26A11 and cerebrovascular disorder.
