Does platelet antiaggregant therapy lessen the severity of stroke?

abstract：:The biochemical hallmark of adult Refsum disease (ARD) is an isolated deficiency in the breakdown of phytanic acid. This usually results from a PHYH gene defect, although some cases have been found to carry a PEX7 defect. We describe the phenotype of such a patient, indistinguishable from that of classic ARD. Hence, w...
