Consistent with studies showing that p53 promotes stroke‐induced apoptosis and affects functional recovery after stroke,56, 57 the single‐nucleotide polymorphism of the MDM2 gene (SNP309T > G), which enhances MDM2 expression, is associated with better functional outcomes in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.50 The gene discussed is MDM2; the disease is hemorrhagic stroke.
