Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between 3 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospectively collected case-control study investigates three common VEGF gene polymorphisms (ie, VEGF -460 [rs833061], VEGF +405 [rs2010963], and VEGF +936 [rs3025039]) in 203 women with CIN and 209 healthy women...
