- Description
- The aim of the current study is first to demonstrate whether there is an association between the three common VEGF polymorphisms (-2578C/A, -634C/G and 936C/T) in the VEGF gene and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) which is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the progressive degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, and second to see if the serum levels of VEGF is reduced in the patients with IPD.
