Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production is regulated by growth factors and inflammatory cytokines, and VEGF plays a role in migraine. We examined for the first time whether three functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of VEGF gene (C(-2578)A, G(-1154)A, and G(-634)C) and VEGF haplotypes are associated with migraine. We studied 114 healthy women without migraine and 175 women with migraine...
