| Abstract | Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a regulator of angiogenesis and a mediator of sex steroid-induced cell growth and differentiation. We aimed to investigate if VEGF gene 5′-UTR −460 polymorphism could be used as markers of susceptibility in leiomyoma. Women were divided into two groups: (1) leiomyoma (n=159); (2) nonleiomyoma groups (n=131). VEGF gene −460 polymorphism were detected by polymerase chain reaction and BstUI restriction enzyme analysis. Genotypes and allelic frequencies between both groups were compared. We noted that the proportions of different VEGF polymorphisms in both groups were significantly different. Proportions of cuttable (C) homozygote/heterozygote/uncuttable (T) homozygote for VEGF in both groups were: (1) 0/32/68% and (2) 0/63/37%. Higher percentage of T homozygote and T allele presented in the leiomyoma population. Proportions of C/T alleles in both groups were: (1) 16/84% and (2) 32/68%. We concluded that T homozygotes and T allele of VEGF gene −460 polymorphism are associated with higher risk of leiomyoma development. Heterozygotes and C allele are related with lower risk of leiomyoma formation. VEGF gene polymorphism likely contributes to the pathogenesis of leiomyoma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
