Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis. Strong interindividual variations of VEGF plasma levels have been reported previously. Aim of the present study was to search for mutations in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the VEGF gene and to analyze their relation to VEGF plasma levels. METHODS: The complete 3'-UTR (nucleotide 700-2622) of the VEGF gene...
