Vascular endothelial growth factor gene +936 C/T polymorphism is associated with preeclampsia in Korean women.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate potential associations between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and preeclampsia. ⋯ Carriage of the +936T allele of the VEGF gene may be associated with increased susceptibility to the development of preeclampsia and may be an independent risk factor for preeclampsia.
