Abstract excerpt
Tumor angiogenesis, which is an important step in the development of cancer, is directly regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). In this study, we examined the association of five potentially functional VEGFR-2 polymorphisms with glioma risk in a Chinese Han population. Three SNPs, rs2071559, rs7667298 and rs2305948, showed a statistically significant increased association with the...
