A separate study involving 35 AIS patients showed that CRP levels >0.14 mg/dL were a strong predictor of clinical deterioration at discharge in patients with acute internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery M1 segment occlusion undergoing recanalization.29 However, an important difference between these studies and our study lies in the selection criteria. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is androgen insensitivity syndrome.
