Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information the LTC4S2 variant in LTC4 confers a 1.807fold increase in stroke when present at 2 copies, whereas the LTBR_2 variant in the LTB4R/LTB4R2 gene region confers a 1.671fold increase in stroke risk when present at 1 or more copies, LTBR_2 and LTBR_6, confer relative risks of 2.371 and 2.081 in cardioembolic stroke, variants in leukotriene C4 synthase confer a 1.5fold increase in risk of small vessel disease Homo sapiens
