Abstract excerpt
Our objective was to investigate whether polymorphisms and haplotypes in the TGFB1 gene are associated with susceptibility or disease characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS). In 247 MS patients and 194 controls, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at position +869 (Leu10Pro) and position +915 (Arg25Pro) in the signaling sequence of the TGFB1 gene were determined, and the distribution of alleles, genotypes,...
