Abstract:Background: A glioma is a form of tumor that is abundant in blood vessels. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR2) are important in the process of angiogenesis. The relationship between VEGFR2 rs2071559 and glioma development is currently uncertain. The present study aims to analyze the correlation between VEGFR2 rs2071559 gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to gliomas. Methods: A thorough search was carried out in the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Medline databases… Show more
