Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Significant phenotypical variability is observed in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Dysregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in the kidney has been demonstrated in a wide range of renal diseases. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of the -2578 C/A and the -1154 G/A polymorphisms in the regulatory region of the VEGF gene upon the...
