Vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms in Behçet's disease

2004

Objective. To evaluate potential associations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms with Behçet's disease (BD) and disease expression. Methods. Case patients were 122 consecutive Italian patients with BD followed at the Rheumatology, Ophthalmology, and Neurology Units in Bologna, Ferrara, Milano, Palermo, Potenza, Prato, Reggio Emilia, and Trento over a 3-year period (1997-99) and who satisfied the International Study Group criteria for BD. Also selected as a control group were 200 healthy age and sex matched blood donors. All patients with BD and controls were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and allele-specific oligonucleotide techniques for +936 C/T (rs302…
