The purpose of this study is to assess the association of genetic polymorphism such as the Brain-derived Neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in neurogenic dysphagia in those with brain lesion.
Neurogenic dysphagia attributable to acquired brain lesions, such as after stroke and after traumatic brain injury, are one of leading causes of chronic disability world widely and it is expected to substantially increase over the next two decades. Among various sequalae, dysphagia can be observed in about 40% -60% of post-stroke patients and 20% -30% of them might suffer from recurrent aspiration pneumonia and may inhibit recovery and can even lead to death. Recovery after brain lesions can be explained by specific molecular events. It is proven that Genetic polymorphisms associated with impaired neural repair or plasticity might reduce recovery from stroke. Not only for the motor recovery, but genetic polymorphism is also crucial for the recovery of swallowing after stroke, however, only limited amount of studies are available. Therefore, it is urgent to determine whether the recovery of swallowing disorders after stroke is affected by the inherent polymorphism of the patient, whether the degree of recovery and brain plasticity associated with swallowing depend on the gene characteristics and polymorphism of the patient and whether recovery in swallowing parallel to the recovery observed in other functional areas (ie. hand recovery, truncal control recovery, ADL recovery).
Based on the results of this study, results will be expected to help provide genetically tailored diagnosis and prognostication according to the gene polymorphism of the patient. Optimized treatment of the patient is expected to contribute to prevention of respiratory complications and improve functional outcome related to swallowing after stroke.

| Change in Medical Research Council(MRC) grade Disability level |
The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is categorical value with the the scale running from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death. |
| initial 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in K-MBI(Korean Modified Barthel Index) | The Barthel scale or Barthel ADL index is an ordinal scale used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). Each performance item is rated on this scale with a given number of points assigned to each level or ranking. Higher scores indicates indolence in ADL activities. | initial 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in FAC(Functional Ambulatory Category) | The Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) is a functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability. This 6-point scale assesses ambulation status by determining how much human support the patient requires when walking, regardless of whether or not they use a personal assistive device . Higher scores indicate better performance. | initial 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in Fugyl Meyer score from baseline | The Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE)is considered to assess the body function according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with a maximum score of 66 points) | initial 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in MMSE-K(Korean Minimental Status Examination) | 3. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively to measure cognitive impairment.[1] Higher score indicates better cognitive function. | initial 4 weeks,3months after onset |
| Change in scores of Quality of Life Survey score (EQ5D(EuroQol-5 dimension) | The QOLS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring quality of life from the perspective of the patient The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. | initial 4 weeks, 3months after onset |
| Change in Penetration-Aspiration Scale(PAS) | initial PAS is a categorical scale that measures level of penetration of bolus(food) into airway at pharynx. It ranges from Score 1 to 8, where 1 indicated no airway entrance of bolus and 8 indicated glottic passage of food. Higher change in PAS indicates improvement in patient's swallowing function. | 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in dysphagia outcome rating scale | initial The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) is a simple, easy-to-use, 7-point scale developed to systematically rate the functional severity of dysphagia based on objective assessment and make recommendations for diet level, independence level, and type of nutrition with level 1 indicating severe dysphagia and level 7 indicating normal swallowing function. | 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Change in SWAL-QOL(swallowing quality of life)) survey score | initial SWAL-QOL is a survey that evaluation patient's subjective quality of life within their swallowing function. Scored will be sumed up where higher score indicates better quality of life. | 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
| Number of events associated with aspiration pneumonia | initial Diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia will be based on ≥3 of the following features: fever (>38°C), productive cough, abnormal respiratory examination, abnormal chest radiograph; specifically involving the dependent portions of the lung; white blood cell count >12,000/mL, or isolation of a relevant pathogen and use of antibiotics) | 4 weeks, 3 months after onset |
