The purpose of the current study was to identify the potential association between Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) TGFβ1 +915 (C or G) in codon 25 and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). Overall, 88 cases with POAG and a control group of 52 healthy individuals were recruited from the First Ophthalmology Department of Athens University. DNA was isolated from whole blood samples and genotype frequencies for the polymorphism rs1800471 (G915C, Arg25Pro) of the TGF-β1 gene were assessed. Genotype distribution frequencies for the polymorphism rs1800471 (G915C, Arg25Pro) of the TGF-β1 gene were not statistically different between patients with POAG and control subjects. The present study failed to determine any significant genotypic association with POAG, despite the fact that the presence of the C allele was scarcely increased in the POAG when compared with the control group.

The influence of genetic factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been described, including several cytokine genes such as transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) with regulatory effects on lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, which are important in the RA pathogenesis. The G915C TGF-β1 polymorphism has been associated with soluble TGF-β1 (sTGF-β) serum levels. Thus, we studied the association of G915C (Arg25Pro) TGF-β1 polymorphism with sTGF-β1 serum levels in RA.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) may be considered a collagen metabolic disorder resulting from areca-nut alkaloid exposure and individual variation in collagen metabolism. Due to the complexity of OSF pathogenesis, it is important to elucidate independent and interactive effects of polymorphisms of collagen-related genes on OSF risk.
Materials And Methods: This study is focused on seven polymorphisms (SNPs) of transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-beta-1) gene in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), belonging to south Indian ethnic extraction.

Background: Two genetic loci, PKD I and PKD2, have been identified as being responsible for ADPKD, and PKD1 is known to be associated with a poor prognosis. However, the presence of an intrafamilial study clinical diversity suggests that there are disease-modifying loci. Because the mechanism ofthe renal failure in ADPKD includes a cystic growth and tubulointerstitial atrophy and fibrosis, we studied the associations between 2 polymorphisms in the TGF-beta1 gene, which are known to be associated with chronic tubulointerstitial inflammation, and ADPKD progression in Korean patients.

Background: Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has been shown to be a potent stimulator of collagen production by fibroblasts, and could play a role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc).
Objective: To study the possible involvement of TGF-beta1 gene polymorphism in Japanese patients with SSc.
Methods: Fifty-nine patients with SSc and 110 normal subjects were studied.
