Role of<i>VEGF-C</i>Gene Polymorphisms in Susceptibility to Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Its Pathological Development

Abstract

Our results suggest that the VEGF-C rs1485766 SNP and either of five haplotypes combined might contribute to a prediction of susceptibility to HCC. The genetic polymorphism of VEGF-C rs7664413 might be a predictive factor for advanced-stage HCC.
