A VEGFA haplotype conformed by positions rs699947 (–1540C>A), rs833061 (–460T>C) and rs2010963 (405C>G) and two additional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs3025039 (936C>T) and rs25648 (1032C>T), were analysed in 239 patients at the time of their CLL diagnosis. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
