Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) plays an integral role in angiogenesis by contributing to growth, development, and metastasis of solid tumors. Recently, a single-nucleotide polymorphism +936C/T located in the VEGF-A 3' untranslated region (UTR) facilitated the susceptibi...
