In lateral studies (Kim et al., 2014), the non-sense SNP (rs2039381 and Gln71Stop) of IFN-ε was also selected to identify a correlation between a non-sense polymorphism of IFN-ε and ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage stroke (two main subtypes of stroke that threaten public health severity) in Korean people. Here, IFNE is linked to ischemic stroke.
