Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in angiogenesis (VEGF, PLGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, HIF-1α) and plasma levels of the corresponding proteins (VEGF, PLGF, sVEGFR1, sVEGFR2) in women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN: Allele frequencies of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway SNPs and plasma levels of the corresponding proteins were investigated in patients with...
