Abstract excerpt
PCR assays were established for easy and fast analysis of two transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene mutations, a C to T transition at position 76 in exon 5 resulting in a change from threonine to isoleucine in position 263 (Thr263Ile) of the propeptide and a deletion of a C in the intron sequence eight bases prior to exon 5 (713-8delC). These mutations were evaluated in insulin-dependent diabetes...
