Research Article: Correlation Between MMP Promoter Methylation and Transient Ischemic Attack/Mild Ischemic Stroke with Early Cognitive Impairment
Introduction:
China has a high incidence of ischemic stroke. Although the dyskinetic symptoms of transient ischemic attack/minor ischemic stroke (TIA/MIS) can recover quickly, cognitive impairment (CI) in the early stages can be easily ignored. Early cognitive impairment (ECI) is highly correlated with a persistent decline in cognitive function. – As an epigenetic form, methylation can affect gene expression without altering the gene sequence, and abnormal methylation of multiple genes has been found. – The blood-brain barrier…
