Increased risk of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia associated with transforming growth factor-beta 1 gene polymorphism at codon10
24 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) plays a significant role in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of prostate epithelial and stromal cells. We explored the association between the T (Leu) to C (Pro) polymorphism at codon10 of the TGF-beta1 gene (TGFB1) and the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in 351 PCa patients, 221 BPH patients and 303 male controls in...
