Abstract excerpt
TGFbeta1 plasma levels and TGFbeta1 genetic polymorphisms have been linked to radiation-induced lung injury. As the correlation between plasma levels and genotype is not always straightforward, this study investigated the association between TGFbeta1 genotype, considering several polymorphisms, and in vitro TGFbeta1 secretion of human lymphocytes. Four polymorphisms in TGFbeta1 (c.-800, c.-509, c.29, c.74)...
