Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To determine whether genetic factors are involved in the development of renal dysfunction due to cyclosporine nephrotoxicity, we analyzed 2 polymorphisms in the signal sequence of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 gene; codon 10 (Leu(10) --> Pro) and codon 25 (Arg(25) --> Pro). METHOD: Using sequence specific oligonucleotide probing, we analyzed both TGF-beta1 gene polymorphisms in cardiac...
