There are a lot of convincing evidences about the involvement of endothelin pathway proteins in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its fatal complications. In this study, the analysis of a possible association between  EDN1  rs5370 and  EDNRA  rs5335 gene polymorphisms and the risk of large artery stroke (LAS) in a Ukrainian population was conducted. 200 LAS patients and 200 unrelated controls were enrolled in a case-control study. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP) was used for SNP genotyping. Our results revealed that  EDN1  rs5370 polymorphism was associated with LAS development both before and after adjustment for atherosclerosis risk factors (sex, age, body mass index, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and smoking). The risk for a LAS incident in rs5370-T allele carriers was 1.6 times higher (CI = 1.066–2.403;  P  = 0.020) than in subjects with the GG genotype. No link between  EDNRA  rs5335 and LAS risk in a Ukrainian population was found. The present study indicated that  EDN1  rs5370, but not  EDNRA  rs5335, can be the strong genetic predictor for LAS development in a Ukrainian population.
