Abstract excerpt
This study examined the association between transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 polymorphisms and brucellosis. The TGF-beta1 genotypes at codons 10 and 25 were determined by an amplification refractory mutation system-PCR among 425 brucellosis patients and 213 healthy volunteers. The frequencies of TGF-beta1 codons 10 C and 25 G were significantly higher among patients than among controls, as was that of...
