Abstract excerpt
CONDENSED ABSTRACT: The variant alleles of the functional polymorphisms, VEGF -2578 C > A, -1498 T > C and +936 C > T, were not associated with risk of esophageal cancer and lymph node metastasis. Compared with the most common haplotype, C-2578T-1498C+936, the A-2578C-1498C+936 haplotype was associated with a borderline significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer. C-2578C-1498C+936 and A-2578T-1498T+936...
