A common SNP only in Asian populations, this SNP (also known as 1425G/A) and a close neighbor also in the
PRKCH gene,
rs3783799, have been associated with higher risk for subcortical silent brain infarction, a common form of
stroke.
In one study of ~1100 Japanese stroke patients, the odds ratio for carriers of the rs2230500(A) risk allele was reported as 1.40 (CI: 1.23-1.59, p=5x10e-7).[PMID 17206144]
A subsequent study reported the odds ratio for carriers of the (A) allele as 1.27 (CI: 1.09-1.48, p=0.0026) compared to individuals homozygous for rs2230500(G), based on studies of ~300 Japanese patients. [PMID 18164711]
