Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key role in the development of cerebral infarction as a major mediator of angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the VEGF gene polymorphisms were associated with the risks of acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: We examined the distribution of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), -1154G/A, 936C/T and...
