Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is a key cytokine producing extracellular matrix. We evaluated the effect of TGF-beta1 gene polymorphism at codon 10 on the development of cirrhosis in patients with...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a key cytokine in the production of extracellular matrix. A genetic polymorphism at codon 10 of the TGF-beta1 gene is associated with liver...
Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an autosomal dominant progressive diaphyseal dysplasia caused by mutations in the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFB1) gene. We report the first Korean family with an affected mother...
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI) are major causes of genetic corneal dystrophies (CDs), which can be grouped into TGFBI CDs. Although a few studies have...
