Platelets and components of the coagulation cascade are known to be instrumental in the pathogenesis of arterial occlusive disorders. The aim of this meta-analysis is to test the hypothesis that genetic variation in the platelet glycoprotein 1balpha and Factor VII genes influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke. All genetic association studies that examined the R353Q (rs6046) polymorphism of the Factor VII gene and 2 polymorphisms of the platelet glycoprotein (1balpha) gene (Thr/Met rs6065 and Kozak sequence -5 C/T rs2243093) in relation to ischemic stroke were examined.
