Abstract excerpt
Altered TGF-beta1 expression due to polymorphisms affects a wide variety of normal cellular and disease processes such as T cell activation and proliferation, tumor progression, and asthma. In this study, a comprehensive examination of function and diversity was undertaken for the TGFB1 promoter region and exon 1 (-2,665 to +423). The known TGF-beta1 promoter was extended to encompass 463 bases by the...
