Association of rs699947 (−2578 C/A) and rs2010963 (−634 G/C) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the VEGF Gene, VEGF-A and Leptin Serum Level, and Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Excess Body Mass: A Case–Control Study

Abstract

The CC genotype of the rs699947 variant of the <i>VEGF</i> gene promotes a positive interdependency between leptin and VEGF-A serum levels in subjects with excess body mass.
