Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene was detected by hybridization-based method using bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs). TGF-beta1 is commonly associated with a single base change resulting in a Leu(10)-->Pro (T(869)-->C) polymorphism and is a genetic marker for susceptibility to osteoporosis. Short (9 bases) and specific probes were designed to...
