VEGFA and necrotizing enterocolitis: Bányász et al. [44] evaluated 128 low birth-weight neonates, suggesting that VEGF G+405C polymorphism might be associated with a higher risk of preterm birth and that VEGF C-2578A polymorphism may contribute to the development of neonatal complications, such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and acute renal failure (ARF).
