dc.description.abstractBackground : Endoglin , is a component of transforming growth factor-β complex. It is involved in vascular development and structural maintenance of the vessel wall. Conflicting reports on the association of a six base insertion polymorphism in intron 7 of the endoglin gene in intracranial aneurysms (IA) have been reported earlier. materials and Methods: A case-control study was designed to compare 102 South Indian patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms and 118 ethnically and geographically matched healthy controls. The frequency of the six base insertion polymorphism was assessed by heteroduplex analysis followed by direct sequencing. Results:Insertion allele count was 39 (19.1%) of 204 alleles in the patient group and 42 (17.8%) of 236 alleles in the control group. The INS allele frequency was similar to the frequency in Caucasian population, but it was significantly lower than the Japanese population ( P =0.01). There was also no relationship of this polymorphism in patients with single aneurysm (33/176 alleles) or those with multiple aneurysms (6/28 alleles). Conclusion:Six base insertion polymorphism in Endoglin gene was not found to be a risk factor for intracranial saccular aneurysms in the South Indian population. Ethnic-related differences were observed. This is the first report on any genetic mutation in intracranial aneurysms in Indian population.en_US
