Abstract excerpt
AIMS: It has been reported that plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels are elevated in hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of -2578C>A and -1154G>A polymorphisms in the VEGF gene with susceptibility to hypertension. METHODS: A total of 640 subjects (320 hypertensive patients and 320 healthy normotensive subjects) were enrolled in the study. Genotyping...
