Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is functional variation in VEGF associated with type 2 diabetes in a United Kingdom Caucasian population?
Answer: This is the first large-scale study to examine the association between common functional variation in VEGF and type 2 diabetes risk. We have found no evidence that these three single nucleotide polymorphisms, shown previously to alter VEGF concentrations, are risk factors for type 2 diabetes in a large UK Caucasian case-control and family-based study.
Output (English): no
