Abstract excerpt
Atherosclerosis results from a complex interaction between environment and genetic risk factors. The gene encoding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is associated with differential protein expression and has been investigated in coronary artery disease (CAD) studies. Based on this, we aimed at determining if patients with CAD are affected by polymorphisms (-2 578, -1 154, and 936) in the VEGF gene, and...
