Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a key regulator of the genes involved in the cellular response to hypoxia. HIF consists of alpha and beta subunits, with the alpha subunit being degraded under normoxic conditions and stabilized under hypoxia. We investigated C1772T and G1790A polymorphisms in exon 12 of the HIF gene, which result in an amino acid change from proline 582 to serine and from alanine 588 to...
