Is short term stroke outcome worse among indiv1iduals with sickle cell trait?
Stroke had1 a worse 30-day mortality and outcome in patients with sickle cell trait (HbAS) than in patients with normal adult haemoglobin (HbAA).
Common missense polymorphisms of the WNT16 gene are associated with BMD at the hip, calcaneal ultrasound and the buckling ratio of the femoral neck, as well as with hip fractures in individuals under 80 years of age. Overall, these results confirm the association of the WNT16 locus with BMD identified in genome-wide association studies and support its role in determining the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
