Analysis of transforming growth factor beta1 gene polymorphisms in patients with systemic sclerosis.
OBJECTIVES To determine the distribution of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) genotypes at codon 10 (+869 polymorphism) and codon 25 (+915 polymorphism) in patients with scleroderma (SSc). Differences between diffuse and limited SSc (dSSc and lSSc) were also investigated. METHODS Patients with lSSc (n=89) and dSSc (n=63) were compared with 147 controls. DNA was isolated from periphe...
متن کاملSingle-nucleotide polymorphisms of transforming growth factor-beta1 gene in Taiwanese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is involved in the generation of CD8+ T suppressor cells, natural killer (NK) cells and regulatory T (Th3) cells for down-regulatory effects on antibody production. We studied TGF-beta1 activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to try to clarify whether the dysregulation by TGF-beta1 is genetically determined. Sera from 55 patients...
متن کاملAnalysis of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1 Gene Polymorphisms in Macedonian Patients with Chronic Periodontitis
Material and methods. The sample consisted of 301 healthy unrelated individuals, and 132 patients with periodontitis. All individuals were of Macedonian origin and nationality and residents of different regions of the Republic of Macedonia. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes by the phenol-chlorophorm extraction method. Cytokine polymorphism genotyping was performed by PCR-SSP (He...
متن کاملAssociation of transforming growth factor-beta1 gene polymorphisms with myocardial infarction in patients with angiographically proven coronary heart disease.
OBJECTIVE Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional cytokine that exhibits vasculoprotective properties. Production and plasma levels of TGF-beta1 are influenced by polymorphisms in the TGF-beta1 gene (TGFB1). We investigated whether the -509C/T (rs1800469), 868T/C (rs1982073), 913G/C (rs1800471), and 11929C/T (rs1800472) polymorphisms of TGFB1 are associated with ...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of rs2070744 and rs1799983 Polymorphisms of NOS3 Gene in Iranian Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of central nervous system that mainly causes lesions or plaques in the spinal cord and brain. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relation between c.-813C>T (rs2070744) and c.894G>T (rs1799983) polymorphisms of NOS3 gene and MS in Iranian patients. Methods: A total of 78 patients with MS and 80 healthy controls were screened for NOS3 ...
