Abstract excerpt
The aim of our study was to investigate an association between polymorphisms of either the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) gene (rs6921438) or the KDR (kinase insert domain receptor) gene (rs2071559, rs2305948) and DN (diabetic nephropathy) in Caucasians with T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus). The second aim was to investigate the effect of either the VEGF gene (rs6921438) or the KDR gene (rs2071559,...
