Increasing evidence shows that inflammation plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of acute ischemic stroke. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been documented to involve in the pathogenic mechanisms of a variety of neurological diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS). However, the impact of RAGE gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility to IS has not been reported. We thus explored the association between RAGE gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to IS.
