Abstract:Background: A vital role of vascular Endothelial Growth Factor was angiogenesis in kidney, that one of the most heavily vascularized organs. the current study aimed to analyze the genotype frequency of VEGF gene polymorphism (-460, -2578 and +936) between 104 hypothyroidism patients at the dialysis unit in Basrah Hospitals and 60 healthy controls, also studied effect on serum level VEGF-A. Methods: Amplification Refractory Mutation System Real-Time PCR (ARMS RT-PCR) was used to identify the VEGF -460 C/T, -25… Show more
