| Abstract | A glioma is the most common type of brain tumor that accounts for nearly 80 % of brain cancers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor, the kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), are involved in the angiogenesis of cancers. In this study, we investigate whether the polymorphisms of VEGF and KDR are associated with a glioma risk. Blood samples were collected from 477 glioma patients and 477 healthy controls. Five tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of KDR were obtained from the HapMap database, and eight tag-SNPs of VEGF were selected based on previous studies. After extraction of genomic DNAs by a Qiagen DNA blood kit, the SNPs of VEGF and KDR were genotyped with a Sequenom MassArray iPLEX platform and further analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The odds ratios and their 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were used to assess the association between VEGF, KDR polymorphisms, and glioma risks with the aid of SPSS 13.0 software. The haplotype analysis demonstrated that two SNPs of VEGF [rs3025039 (C>T), rs2010963 (G>C)] could elevate the susceptibility to a glioma in the homozygous model [odds ratio (OR) = 3.13 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.30–7.49, P = 0.007) and OR = 1.58 (95 % CI 1.07–2.34, P = 0.022), respectively], dominant model [OR = 1.38 (95 % CI 1.04–1.84, P = 0.025) and OR = 1.32 (95 % CI 1.01–1.72, P = 0.043), respectively], and allelic model [OR = 1.43 (95 % CI 1.11–1.84, P = 0.005) and OR = 1.24 (95 % CI 1.04–1.50, P = 0.019), respectively]. Furthermore, three SNPs of KDR [rs7667298 (A>G), rs2305948 (C>T), rs1870377 (T>A)] were also assumed to be associated with an increased risk of a glioma in the homozygous [OR = 1.93 (95 % CI 1.30–2.86, P = 0.001), OR = 2.56 (95 % CI 1.28–5.11, P = 0.006), and OR = 1.52 (95 % CI 1.00–2.31, P = 0.049), respectively], dominant [OR = 1.52 (95 % CI 1.16–1.98, P = 0.002), OR = 1.41 (95 % CI 1.05–1.87, P = 0.020), and OR = 1.48 (95 % CI 1.13–1.93, P = 0.004), respectively], and allele models [OR = 1.39 (95 % CI 1.15–1.67, P = 0.001), OR = 1.47 (95 % CI 1.14–1.89, P = 0.002), and OR = 1.27 (95 % CI 1.05–1.52, P = 0.013), respectively]. The genetic polymorphisms of VEGF [rs3025039 (C>T), rs2010963 (G>C)] and KDR [rs7667298 (A>G), rs2305948 (C>T), rs1870377 (T>A)] increased glioma susceptibility in a Chinese population, suggesting the possibility of VEGF and KDR as genetic markers for glioma. Additional functional and association studies with different ethnic groups included are needed to further confirm our results. |

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.
