Polymorphisms of coagulation factor genes--a review.

abstract：:There is evidence that angiogenesis plays an important role in the progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are cytokines that potently stimulate angiogenesis. We evaluated the microvascular density (MVD) of bone marrow biopsies (after immunostain...
