Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: High expression of circulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been reported in patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). We investigated the role of -1154 G-->A (rs1570360) and -634 G-->C (rs2010963) VEGF gene functional variants in the susceptibility to HSP, to identify associations with severe systemic complications of HSP, in particular with renal complications. METHODS:...
