Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is well acknowledged as a powerful angiogenesis-promoting agent mainly through its receptor VEGFR2. Ischemia stimulates VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling pathway and elevated serum levels of VEGFA were detected in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. The goal of the current study is to determine how four SNPs in the genes for VEGFA (rs3025039 and rs699947) and...
