Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is a transcription factor that mediates many cellular responses to tissue hypoxia, a common feature of acute kidney injury (AKI). Here we studied 241 patients with AKI and determined the relationship to adverse outcome of a non-synonymous polymorphism in the coding region of the HIF-1alpha gene where a C to T substitution occurs at position +85 in exon 12, a change...
