Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate whether transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFbeta1) single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility of breast cancer patients to severe radiation-induced normal tissue damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PCR-RFLP assays were performed for TGFbeta1 gene polymorphisms on DNA obtained from 103 breast cancer patients who received radiotherapy. The G-800A, C-509T, T+869C and...
