Abstract excerpt
We conducted a case-control study to investigate the role of 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the gene encoding transforming growth factor-b1 (TGFB1) in the development of metastatic brain tumors in non-small cell lung cancer patients. The polymorphisms in TGFB1 rs4803455, rs1800469, and rs1800470 were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Odds ratios and their...
