Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to vasculitis. METHODS: Meta-analyses were conducted on the associations between the -634 C/G, +936 C/T, -1154 A/G, and -2578 A/C polymorphisms of VEGF and vasculitis. RESULTS: Eight studies on VEGF polymorphisms and vasculitis involving 2740 subjects (vasculitis 834,...
