However, trends approaching significance were detected between higher VEGF levels and the presence of hyperpigmentation (median 6,099 pg/ml vs. 2,741 pg/ml, P = 0.09), hemangiomas (6,921 pg/ml vs. 5,243 pg/mL, P = 0.06), and hypertrichosis (6,328 pg/ml vs. 3,896 pg/ml, P = 0.06). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is hemangioma.
