VEGF contains several polymorphic sites known to influence its expression. We examined the possible association between + 405(-634)C > G, + 936C > T, - 2578C > A and lung cancer in 199 Kashmiri patients and 401 healthy controls. VEGF + 405CG, 936CT + TT and - 2578CA genotypes were significantly associated with lung cancer risk compared to VEGF + 405CC, + 936CC and - 2578AA + CC genotypes [OR = 0.07 (0.04 - 0.13), P < 0.0001, OR = 036 (0.25 - 0.52), P < 0.0001 and 0.08 (0.05 - 0.13), P < 0.0001]. Haplotype analysis revealed that CGA and TGA haplotypes of VEGF gene conveys the risk for lung cancer [OR = 0.18 (0.10 - 0.33), P < 0.0001 and 0.07 (0.03 - 0.13), P < 0.0001]. VEGF expression revealed non-significant association with the genotypes of the three SNPs. In conclusion, the SNPs examined appear to influence lung cancer susceptibility while as genotypes of the SNPs don't appear to have significant association with VEGF mRNA expression in lung tumours.
