Association between SNPs in vascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms and risk of renal cell carcinoma: a case-control study
We conducted this case-control study to assess the role of the VEGF -2578C/A, +1612G/A, +936C/T and -634G/C gene polymorphisms in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in a 360 consecutive primary RCC patients and 360 age and gender-matched controls during January 2010 and January 2014. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used for VEGF -2578C/A, +1612G/A, +936C/T and -634G/C genotyping.
