Association of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Polymorphism with Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many studies have reported increased serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with acute coronary syndromes. We searched for the association between either the -634 C/G or the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the VEGF gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: 143 subjects with type 2 diabetes and MI were compared to 228 diabetic...
