Use of the determination of polymorphims in the promoter region of the TGF-beta 1 gene in diagnosis

A method of diagnosis comprises determining genotype of a TGF- beta 1 promoter-specific polmorphisms that have been identified are at positions -800bp and -509bp. The genotype determined is then used to assess predisposition or susceptibility to a number of diseases: osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, c...

Zusammenfassung:A method of diagnosis comprises determining genotype of a TGF- beta 1 promoter-specific polmorphisms that have been identified are at positions -800bp and -509bp. The genotype determined is then used to assess predisposition or susceptibility to a number of diseases: osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, cancer and immune disorders.
