There were no statistically significant difference in allele and genotype frequency of the polymorphisms within the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene (-460 and +405) between 193 systemic lupus erythematosus patients and 234 healthy controls. However, the +405 GG was significantly associated with lupus nephritis (LN) patients with low VEGF mRNA expression and LN with end-stage renal disease.
在 193 例系统性红斑狼疮患者和 234 例健康对照者中,血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)基因(-460 和+405)的多态性在等位基因和基因型频率方面无统计学差异。然而,+405 GG 与 VEGF mRNA 表达水平低的狼疮肾炎(LN)患者和终末期肾病的 LN 显著相关。
