VEGFA and hepatocellular carcinoma: Similar study by Wu et al. (2009) studied in 7 polymorphisms of VEGF gene of HCC patients (rs699947, rs1570360, rs2010963, rs3024997, rs3025010, rs3025035, rs3025039), the polymorphism rs3025035 located at intron might be a potential genetic marker for HCC recurrence [10].
