Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), an important genetic component of angiogenesis, becomes stable as a response to tumor hypoxia and facilitates tumor survival. The polymorphisms of the HIF-1alphagene may cause changes in the activity of this protein, which serves as a transcription factor for many genes in tumorigenesis. In this study, we have investigated the relationship between seven HIF-1alphapolymorphisms...
