Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) play important roles in tumor biology. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in EGF and TGFB1 genes alter the expression of these growth factors and influence the tumorigenesis process. The aim of our present study was to determine the association of EGF+61A>G (rs4444903) and TGFB1-509C>T (rs1800469) gene polymorphism with susceptibility to...
