Abstract excerpt
Our group has previously reported that SNPs in the VEGF promoter are strongly associated with efficacy and toxicity to the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab in breast cancer. In order to better understand the biologic mechanism for our previously reported biomarkers, we embarked on a comprehensive evaluation of genetic variation in the VEGF promoter coupled with a study of its intrinsic function. We resequenced 48...
