Park et al. conducted a case–control study to investigate whether VEGF (-2578C > A, -1154G > A, -634G > C, and 936C > T) and KDR (-604 T > C, 1192G > A, and 1719 T > A) polymorphisms are associated with MMD in 107 Korean patients and 243 healthy control subjects. The gene discussed is KDR; the disease is multiminicore myopathy.
