Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VEGF gene with the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its association with clinical characteristics of RCC, such as tumor stages, metastasis, and tumor size. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fra...
