Article Synopsis
- TGFβ1 is a cytokine linked to chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and its production can vary due to genetic polymorphisms.
- Researchers studied three specific polymorphisms in a group of 341 people in South-Eastern Iran, comparing CHB patients with healthy controls.
- Findings show that the TGFβ1 +869 TT genotype and T allele lower CHB risk, while the +11929 CT genotype and T allele increase risk, suggesting different genetic factors influence susceptibility to CHB.
