“…The SNP did not influence the survival of MCL 11 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients, 12 but a VEGFA haplotype, including the rs699947 locus, determined worse prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. 13 To the best of our knowledge, the roles of VEGFA -2578 C>A SNP in FL susceptibility, clinicopathological features and outcome are still unknown, and, therefore, these were the aims of this study. Moreover, we investigated a possible functional role of rs699947 in FL, by combining genotyping with the analysis of AG and LG markers in the patients' biopsies.…”
