Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The association of TGF beta1 polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF) in essential hypertensive (EH) subjects remains unknown. Methods EH subjects with AF (EH+AF+) and sinus rhythm (EH+AF-) were enrolled. The polymorphisms of +869 T --> C at codon 10 and + 915 G --> C at codon 25, were genotyped. The clinical characteristics including serum TGF beta1 levels were detected. RESULTS: The GG genotypes...
