Abstract excerpt
Aim: VEGF gene polymorphisms can induce either increase or inhibition of VEGF secretion, with altered promoter activity. The VEGF rs699947 SNP is located in the promoter region and is associated with susceptibility to breast carcinoma development. Here, we investigated the association of the -2578C>A polymorphism in the VEGF gene with breast cancer risk in Saudi women. Methodology: Genotyping of the VEGF-gene...
