An association with susceptibility toKD was observed with 2 of the 6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms analyzed in VEGF: -2594 A>C (rs699947) and the 236 bp 3' of STP C>T (rs3025039).
Family-based analyses of severe retinopathy provide evidence of excess transmission of C at rs699947 (P = 0.029), T at rs3025021 (P = 0.013), and the C-T haplotype from both SNPs (P = 0.035).
Three VEGF gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (-2578A>C rs699947, -634C>G rs2010963 and +936C>T rs3025039) were genotyped in 516 control subjects of the OPERA (Oulu Project Elucidating Risk of Atherosclerosis) cohort and in 251 survivors of AMI.
Homozygotes for the minor alleles of rs833070, rs2146323, and rs699947, which were in strong linkage disequilibrium, showed earlier progression to severe NPDR than those with other genotypes (p = 0.010, p = 0.011, and p = 0.031, respectively).
We evaluated the association of VEGFA polymorphisms c.-2578C>A (rs699947), c.-1154G>A (rs1570360) and c.-634C>G (rs2010963) with congenital heart disease in Chilean patients with microdeletion 22q11.
We found a significant association between the A allele at rs699947 with DR (odds ratio = 1.84 (95% confidence interval = 1.28-2.66); P = 0.001 vs. noDR).
This study tested the association between functional VEGF +405 C>G (rs2010963), -2578C>A (rs699947) polymorphisms, and coronary collaterals in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
We examined two VEGF polymorphisms, including +405 C/G (rs2010963) and -2578C/A (rs699947), to assess their relation to the extent of coronary atherosclerosis.
We found a significant association between the A allele at rs699947 with DR (odds ratio = 1.84 (95% confidence interval = 1.28-2.66); P = 0.001 vs. noDR).
To further evaluate these findings, we genotyped two SNPs in the VEGF gene (rs699947 [-2578]) and rs1570360 [-1154]) by TaqMan Allelic Discrimination in a study sample including AD patients (n = 801) and controls (n = 286).
After adjusting for covariates, a significant association of DR was observed with the homozygous genotype of the minor allele for promoter SNPs rs699947 (odds ratio (OR)=3.54, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-11.19), rs833061 (OR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.17-11.85) and rs13207351 (OR=3.76, 95% CI: 1.21-11.71).
PCR-RFLP assays were used to determine the genotypes of VEGFA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) including VEGFA-2578A/C (rs699947), -460C/T (rs833061), +405C/G (rs2010963), and +936C/T (rs3025039) in 418 subjects with RA.
Specifically, correlations between SNPs and different levels of PDT-V efficacy have been detected by examining the gene variants influencing (i) thrombo-coagulative pathways, i.e. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T (rs1801133), factor V (F5) 1691G>A (rs6025), prothrombin (F2) 20210G>A (rs1799963), and factor XIII-A (F13A1) 185G>T (rs5985); (ii) complement activation and/or inflammatory processes, i.e. complement factor H (CFH) 1277T>C (rs1061170), high-temperature requirement factor A1 (HTRA1) promoter -512G>A (rs11200638), and two variants of the C-reactive protein (CRP) gene (rs2808635 and rs876538); and (iii) production and bioavailability of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA -2578C>A [rs699947] and rs2146323).
The haplotype analysis revealed that two haplotypes, CGTC and CATC (in the order of VEGF -2578 C>A (rs699947), -1154 G>A (1570360), -460 C>T (rs833061), and +936 C>T (3025039)), were significantly associated with hypertensive nephropathy in Hispanic patients.
Our results seem to indicate that combining information from genotyping of rs699947 (VEGFA, AC), rs2269772 (ITGA, AA) and tumour histology could allow clinicians to individuate gastric cancer at high risk for recurrence either with peritoneal or hematogenous metastases.

This study aimed at characterizing interactions among nine clinically relevant polymorphisms in eNOS (T(-786)C/rs2070744, the 27 bp VNTR in intron 4, the Glu298Asp/rs1799983, and two additional tagSNPs rs3918226 and rs743506), iNOS (C(-1026)A/rs2779249 and G2087A/rs2297518), and VEGF (C(-2578)A/rs699947 and G(-634)C/rs2010963) in migraine patients and control group.

Our meta-analysis confirmed the significant association between rs699947 polymorphism and DR after exclusion of outliers, and rs2010963 polymorphism might be not associated with DR.
