Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) gene variation in polycystic ovary syndrome in a Tunisian women population

Abstract

LD pattern in VEGF locus showed a similar LD pattern between the Tunisian population and the CEU. More haplotypes in the Tunisian population than in CEU was observed (22 haplotypes vs 16 haplotypes) suggesting higher recombination rate in Tunisians. The study showed that there was any advantage of using haplotypes compared with SNPs taken alone.
