Abstract excerpt
The association of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -583C/T variant with recurrent miscarriage (RSM) was investigated in 173 RSM cases and 248 control women. Increased minor allele and genotype frequencies of -583C/T, and reduced serum VEGF concentrations were associated with increased risk of RSM.
