Abstract excerpt
Human brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) tissue contains increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). We carried out a case-control study to determine whether polymorphisms in the VEGFA gene are associated with sporadic BAVM. Nine selected VEGFA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were genotyped in 319 patients with BAVM and 333 controls from a Chinese population using the MassARRAY...
