Growing evidence suggests that the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway occupies a central position in the signaling networks that control cell growth and differentiation. TGF-beta1 and its receptor TGF-betaRII have been correlated with the development of certain forms of cancer, including gastric cancer. We hypothesized that functional genetic variants in TGFB1 and TGFBR2 are associated...
