Abstract:Background
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signal protein, induces cell proliferation, and enhances the permeability of the endothelial cells. VEGF-A gene is highly polymorphic, with different near-gene variants at varied frequencies linked with altered VEGF protein expression, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) susceptibility, and associated microvascular complications. The present study aimed to investigate the role of two genetic variants of VEGF-A, − 583C > T (rs3025020) and … Show more
