Abstract:Objective: To clarify the role of VEGF polymorphisms in CHD, we performed a meta-analysis to determine the association between these three variants and risk of CHD.
Methods:Our meta-analysis included a total of 6, 4, and 6 research articles for each of the C2578A, G1154A, and G634C polymorphisms, respectively. Data extraction and study quality assessment were performed in duplicate. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of allele contrast and genotype contrast were estimated using either… Show more
