Abstract excerpt
We conducted this case-control study to assess the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -2578C/A, +460T/C, +1612G/A, +936C/T, and -634G/C polymorphisms in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and analyzed the association of gene polymorphisms with demographic and clinical characteristics of RCC. This study included 412 consecutive primary RCC patients and 824 controls. The polymerase chain...
