Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The present study investigated the functional influence of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) -460 C/T and +405 G/C at vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), mRNA and protein levels in colorectal cancer (CRC) and normal colorectal tissue. METHODS: Blood and tissue were collected from 113 patients surgically resected for colorectal cancer. SNPs were analysed from genomic DNA by PCR, the...
