Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Von Hippel-Lindau protein deficiency leads to cellular and tissue false sense of hypoxia (pseudohypoxia), driving erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and dysglycemia. The impact of partial VHL protein deficiency, caused by heterozygous VHL gene alterations on diabetes and cardiovascular risk has not been investigated. Hence, in the current study we assessed a possible association between VHL genotype and...
