Abstract
Purpose
In this work, we are interested to study the implication of −509C/T polymorphism, located in the promoter region of TGFB1 (transforming growth factor β1), in the phenotypic variability of CF patients.
Patients and methods
The present study enrolled 111 CF patients and 100 healthy control subjects. The study of the −509C/T polymorphism was performed using PCR-RFLP method.
Results
We found that patients carried non-F508del homozygous mutation with TT genotype was associated to lung symptoms (P = 0.04). This association was not found in the sub-groups of patients with F508del at homozygous state P = 0.145. No association was found between this polymorphism and the variability of digestive, pancreatic and ileus meconial symptoms.
Conclusion
On the basis of our results, the −509C/T polymorphism of the TGFB1 gene seems to be a modulator factor of cystic fibrosis.
