متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Disease Progression in North Indian Cohort with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by a significant phenotypic variability in progression of the disease. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been reported to play a major role in renal pathophysiology. The aim of the present case-control study was to evaluate the association of two promoter polymorphisms (-2578C>A and -1154G>A) of VEGF gene and ADPK...
