Abstract:Background: VEGF gene polymorphisms can induce either increase or inhibition of VEGF secretion, with altered promoter activity.
Aim:We investigated the association of the VEGFR-2 and -2578C\A polymorphism in the VEGF gene with Lung cancer risk in Babylon province. Methodology: VEGFR-2 level was measured by Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbant Assay ELISA and Genotyping of the VEGF-gene variation (-2578A\C) was performed using the amplification refractory mutation system PCR. We investigated the association of VEGF ge… Show more
