Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aortic calcification is developed due to accumulation of a large amount of calcium in the aorta of the heart and it is the leading cause of aortic valve replacement and third leading cause of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between aortic calcification and VEGF SNPs (-2578C>A, -1154G>A and +936C>T) and to evaluate the association of these SNPs with...
