Abstract excerpt
To investigate the roles of the plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level and VEGF gene polymorphisms in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility. The plasma VEGF level was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The VEGF rs2010963 G/C gene polymorphism was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Our data indicated that the average...
