Abstract excerpt
The severity of Hashimoto's disease (HD) and the intractability of Graves' disease (GD) vary among patients. To clarify whether the +869T/C polymorphism in the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene, which is associated with TGF-beta1 expression, is involved in the intractability of GD and severity of HD, we genotyped the TGF-beta1 +869T/C polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment...
