Genetic and environmental factors influence stroke-related cognitive impairment. A specific gene variant, glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM), showed a potential association with vascular cognitive impairment risk in stroke patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a significant post-stroke complication.
  • Both environmental and genetic factors are implicated in VCI risk.
  • Identifying specific risk factors is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate genetic and environmental factors associated with VCI after ischemic stroke.
  • To examine the association between specific gene polymorphisms and VCI development.
  • To determine the role of the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) gene in VCI risk.

Main Methods:

  • Cognitive status of 121 ischemic stroke patients was assessed 3 months post-stroke using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
  • Genotyping of 7 polymorphisms related to vascular ischemic disease risk was performed in patients and 270 controls.

  • Statistical analysis was used to compare genotypes between patients with and without VCI (MMSE < 24).

    • Main Results:

    • VCI was diagnosed in 42.1% of stroke patients.
    • Patients with VCI were older and more frequently female.
    • The GCLM polymorphism showed a significant association with VCI risk (OR = 2.8, P = .006), while other tested polymorphisms did not.
    • The GCLM genotype did not influence MMSE scores when all stroke patients were analyzed together.

    Conclusions:

    • The glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) gene polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of vascular cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke.
    • Further validation in independent cohorts is necessary to confirm the GCLM association with VCI.
    • Understanding genetic contributions to VCI can inform personalized risk assessment and therapeutic strategies.
