ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of genetic variation and DNA methylation of PEAR1 rs12041331 in high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) and recurrent ischemic stroke (RIS).

Material and methods:
Genotype, methylation, and mRNA of PEAR1 rs12041331 were detected in patients with cerebral ischemia, for the analysis of the effect of PEAR1 rs12041331 on HPR and RIS.

Results:
The major G allele of PEAR1 rs12041331 was associated with hypermethylation, which was associated with HPR. This link was not observed for RIS.

Conclusions:
The PEAR1 rs12041331 genetic polymorphism and DNA methylation may be among the genetic factors affecting HPR. The correlation between PEAR1 and RIS needs to be studied further.
