Genetic susceptibility to keloid disease and transforming growth factor beta 2 polymorphisms.

British journal of plastic surgery - 1 Jun 2002

Bayat A, Bock O, Mrowietz U, Ollier W E R, Ferguson M W J

Abstract excerpt

Keloid disease (KD) is a benign fibroproliferative scarring condition of unknown aetiopathogenesis. There is a familial predisposition to keloid scarring. The genes involved in the pathogenesis of abnormal dermal scarring have yet to be identified. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) is a family of multifunctional cytokines, which play a central role in wound healing and fibrosis. The TGF beta 2 isoform is...
