The Correlation and Mechanistic Study of GGCX Gene With Prognosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke

November 25, 2025 updated by: Xia Zhang, Peking University Aerospace Center Hospital

Study Protocol on the Correlation and Mechanistic Study of GGCX Gene With Prognosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke

This observational study aims to investigate the impact of GGCX gene mutations and GGCX levels on stroke prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke, as well as their correlation. The main issues are:

What is the relationship and potential mechanism between GGCX gene mutations and their expression levels and the composite prognosis of recurrence, death, and bleeding events in patients with ischemic stroke? Collect blood samples from enrolled ischemic stroke patients for genetic testing, and conduct follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge to evaluate clinical prognosis outcomes. This will answer questions about the relationship and mechanism between GGCX gene and patient prognosis.
