Abstract excerpt
Alterations in TGF-beta signaling appear to be associated with an altered risk of developing cancer, including breast cancer. We carried out a case-control study on 8 polymorphisms, including 5 in the TGF-beta1 gene (G-800A, C-509T, Leu10-->Pro, Arg25-->Pro and Thr263-->Ile), a polyalanine polymorphism (9A-->6A) in the TGF-betaRI gene and 2 (G-875A and A-364G) in the TGF-betaRII gene, using samples from 2...
