Abstract excerpt
There were conflicting results about whether promoter polymorphisms (-2578C/A, -1154G/A) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is a risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To determine the relationship between them, a meta-analysis is needed urgently. We searched all the reports abou...
