Abstract excerpt
We investigated native Japanese subjects whether C702T, C936T and G1612A polymorphisms in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene are associated with the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Genomic DNAs from 145 RCC patients and 145 healthy controls were examined by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism. Variant allele frequencies of...
