We studied the relationship between the polymorphisms of -800G/A and +915G/C in transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) gene and lung cancer susceptibility. The sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP) technique was used to test 156 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients that were selected as the observation group and 156 patients with pneumonia and tuberculosis that were selected as the control group (age and gender 1:1 proximal matching principle) and the polymorphisms of the first exon -800G/A and +915G/C TGF-β1 genes. The expression of TGF-β1 levels in peripheral blood was detected using ELISA. The proportion of -800G/A gene AA subtype and A allelic gene in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while the proportion of +915G/C gene CC subtype and C allelic gene was also significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The cancer risk [odds ratio (OR)] of patients with A allelic gene in -800G/A gene was 4.8 (95% CI=2.563-6.537, P<0.05), while the cancer risk (OR) of patients with C allelic gene in +915G/C gene was 4.7 (95% CI=2.317-5.864, P<0.05). The serum TGF-β1 expression levels of -800G/A gene AA subtype in the observation group was significantly higher than the GG type, GA type and the control group, while the TGF-β1 level of +915G/C gene CC subtype was significantly higher than the GG type, GC type and the control group (P<0.05). Therefore, the polymorphisms of -800G/A and +915G/C in TGF-β1 gene are closely related to the lung cancer susceptibility.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy in which one of the body's peripheral nerves becomes pinched or crushed. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of CTS. An association between TGF-β1 polymorphisms and the susceptibility or progression of a number of diseases has been reported.

TGF-β1 genotype in pediatric migraine patients.

J Child Neurol

January 2015

Kazan Vocational School Business Administration Program, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey.

There is no information about the role of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) in the pathogenesis of pediatric migraine. This study included 100 consecutive children and adolescents in whom migraine was diagnosed and 88 healthy children and adolescents. The isolated genomic DNA was used as a template for TGFβ-1 (-800G/A, -509C/T, 869T/C [codon 10] and 915G/C [codon 25]) genotyping.

Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is a cytokine affecting cell proliferation and development, which also has an immunomodulatory activity. Correlations between polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene and clinical parameters of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were reported previously in adults. Here, we tested whether such correlations occur in pediatric patients suffering from IBD.

Associations of the genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region and the signal peptide sequence of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta1) gene with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were studied. A total of 245 Caucasian subjects comprised the two groups: NIDDM patients with PDR (n = 73) and NIDDM patients without PDR (n = 172). Allele frequencies of common TGF-beta1 polymorphisms (at positions -988C/A, -800G/A, -509C/T, +869T/C (L10P), and +915G/C (R25P)) were determined by PCR-based methodology.
