Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression has been linked to cancer progression. Here we hypothesise that the polymorphism and protein expression of VEGF are correlated with the pathogenesis and therapy response of pterygium. METHODS: 60 pterygial and 121 normal conjunctival samples were collected to determine the genotypes and protein expression of VEGF. Primary pterygium...
