We analyzed association of the -2578C/A, -7C/T, -2549I/D, and -1001G/C polymorphism of the VEGF gene with bladder cancer (BC) risk and interaction of these polymorphisms with lifestyle and demographic factors.
Two established bladder cancer susceptibility genotypes, NAT2 slow-acetylation and GSTM1-null, exhibited similar associations among the subphenotypes, as did VEGF-rs25648, which was previously identified in our study.
