Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotype analysis in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene in the patients with Parkinson disease and lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

The epidemiologic data on smoking in association with Parkinson disease (PD) is puzzling. A lower incidence of smoking-related malignancies, especially lung cancer, has been reported by several studies in the patients with PD. In this study, we investigated polymorphic variations in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene, which has been proposed having a pivotal role in progressive damage of nigral...
