Abstract excerpt
AIM: Adaptation to low oxygen tension (hypoxia) in cells and tissues leads to the transcriptional induction of series of genes and the primary factor mediating this response is the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. This study was designed in order to examine the HIF-1α gene polymorphism, p582s (rs11549465) in Exon-12 of HIF-1α gene in diabetic subjects with and without foot ulcers (DFU) and to find its expression...
