Abstract excerpt
Several polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) such as 936 C/T, -2578 C/A, -406 C/T, and -1154 G/A polymorphism have been identified. Published data on the association between VEGF polymorphisms and breast cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Crude OR with 95% CI was used to assess the strength of association...
