“…As the major type of stroke, IS refers to cerebral necrosis caused by stenosis or occlusion of the cerebral artery, and cerebral insufficiency, which is a complex neurological disease induced by interaction of genes with the environment that causes permanently disabling disease [ 6 , 25 26 ]. One in six people in the world suffer from stroke [ 27 ], and IS seriously increases the burden on economy and medical resource in the world [ 28 ].…”

“…However, these risk factors can only explain a small part of the etiology. IS is a complex disease induced by the combined action of a variety of genetic and environmental factors, and genetic mutations play a crucial role in its development [ 6 8 ]. Nevertheless, the exact molecular mechanism underlying the development of IS has not yet been determined.…”

“…Thus, recent studies suggest ERK5/KLF4 cascade as a common downstream signaling pathway for NGF-induced neuroprotection against oxidative stress [ 11 ]. Hence NGF is involved in several crucial processes related to IS etiopathogenesis and it is a good candidate to influence the susceptibility to IS, which is considered to be a complex polygenic disease [ 12 ]. There are number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding NGF and NGFR that may alter their function and expression levels [ 13 ].…”

“…Cerebral infarction (or ischaemic stroke), resulting from a blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain, or leakage outside the vessel walls, is the leading cause of acquired disability in adults and the second leading cause of dementia [ 1 ]. It constitutes the majority of cases of cerebrovascular accidents, and can be atherothrombotic or embolic [ 2 ].…”
