highly significantP = 1.22 × 10 -43
26 , 28 - 31 A subsequent meta-analysis, which included 5,159 patients with AIS and 17,840 controls, reported a highly significant association with this SNP, with a P = 1.22 × 10 -43 for both men and women, and an even stronger P = 2.94 × 10 -48 for women only. 32 The present study established a significant association between the LBX1 polymorphism rs11190870 and AIS susceptibility ( P < .001), consistent with prior research conducted across diverse populations, particularly in East Asian cohorts.
