Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible relationship between polymorphism of codon25 in signal peptide region of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFb1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection susceptibility. METHODS: Genotypes of TGFb1 of 191 subjects (85 HCV infected patients and 106 healthy controls) were studied. Genotypes of TGFb1 codon25 were determined by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)....
