Abstract excerpt

AIM: Considerable attention is focused on polymorphisms in the gene encoding transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), a multifunctional cytokine that is in turn a potent growth inhibitor involved in wound healing and differentiation. In humans, it promotes the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis, atherosclerosis, cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, keloid disease, and hypertrophic scarring. For this...
