In a relatively small cohort of patients, Molnar et al. found that circulating SDMA levels at 72 h following stroke onset were positively associated with post-stroke infections and circulating inflammatory markers, including the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) and the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) [110,145]. The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is Stroke.
