Abstract excerpt
PROBLEM: In ectopic pregnancy, increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor are present. The aims of this study were to determine the association between -634C/G, -460T/C, and +936C/T vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms and ectopic pregnancy, and to determine whether serum levels of VEGF were affected by genetic factors. METHOD: of study This is a case-control study wherein 74 women...
