Relationship Between the VEGF Gene Polymorphism and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors

The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between VEGF gene expression, VEGF gene polymorphism and serum leptin concentration in the Polish population in people with excessive body weight. In addition, the aim of the study is to look for relationships between the VEGF gene polymorphism and anthropometric and biochemical factors of cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction such as body weight, waist circumference, serum total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, glucose and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in the family of a patient with excessive body weight in the Polish population.
