Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Two polymorphisms in the TGF-β1 gene (-509C/T and 869T/C) were described to influence susceptibility to gastric and breast cancers. The 869T/C polymorphism was also associated with overall survival in breast cancer patients. In the present study, we investigated the relevance of these TGF-β1 polymorphism in glioma risk and...
