Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a pro-angiogenic factor. Variability in VEGF expression, induced by specific VEGFA variants, are involved in angiogenesis-related disorders. This study examined the genotype distribution and functional role (VEGF expression) of rs699947, rs833061, rs1570360, rs2010963, rs833068, , , and VEGFA variants and their haplotypes in 519...
