Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) influences the VEGF responsiveness and is implicated in various types of diseases with a putative angiogenic basis, but its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is not fully understood. In this report, we sought to investigate whether the VEGF-2578C/A polymorphism was associated with NPC in a Chinese population. We carried out polymerase chain...
