23、007; accepted September 24, 2007 (ARCMED-D-07-00379).We conclude that GG genotype of the VEGF gene mayincrease the risk of laryngeal SCC in this population. VEGFgene polymorphism may be an important potential geneticand therapeutic marker of laryngeal SCC. The major limitationsof our study are the modest sample size and matchingproblem in controls and patients according to genderand age. Thus, further studies are necessary to delineatethe potential role of VEGF polymorphism in the susceptibilityto laryngeal SCC in a larger population.
