Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels are formed from existing vessels. Mammalian populations harbor genetic variations that alter angiogenesis. Some of these changes result in Mendelian traits of variable penetrance, with telangiectasia being a common symptom. Other more subtle variations exist, with promoter variations in the VEGF gene being of particular interest. Genetic diversity in...
