Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) levels influence many cellular, immunologic and pathologic processes. Activator protein 1 (AP1) and hypoxia are key regulators of TGF-beta1 expression levels. The common TGFB1 promoter SNP c.-1347C > T (-509C-T, rs1800469) has been linked to a nearly twofold difference in plasma levels among individuals and with risk, progression, and outcome of numerous diseases. We...
