Recent evidence indicates that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is capable of protecting dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. To evaluate the role of VEGF single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in PD, we performed a case-control study including 400 PD patients and 400...
