As therapeutic modulation of VEGF isoforms is currently investigated in cancer [12, 14] and in angiogenic eye disorders [17], and considering a potential development in autoimmune disorder systemic sclerosis [20, 21], further studies are needed for a complete understanding of the balance between antiangiogenic and proangiogenic VEGF isoforms in inflammatory myopathies. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is eye disorder.
