Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF WORK: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) are anti-inflammatory cytokines that play important roles in the immunoregulatory processes of numerous granulomatous diseases. In sarcoidosis polymorphisms (PMs) within these cytokine genes are suspected of modifing the course of the disorder. Therefore, we were interested in whether the genotype frequencies for...
