Impact of the hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) pro582ser polymorphism and its gene expression on diabetic foot ulcers.
AIM: Adaptation to low oxygen tension (hypoxia) in cells and tissues leads to the transcriptional induction of series of genes and the primary factor mediating this response is the hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha. This study was designed in order to exami.....
