Abstract

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) constitute a heterogenous group of mainly B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases with different patterns of clinical behaviour. Biological mechanisms leading to development of NHL are not clearly understood. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) influences B cell growth and development. The present study aimed to determine whether there is an association between the polymorphic features located within the TGF-beta1 gene in NHL patients and progression of the disease. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms at positions 869 T/C (Leu10Pro) and 915 G/C (Arg25Pro) in the precursor region of the TGF-beta1 gene were determined in 55 NHL patients and 50 healthy individuals by PCR-SSP technique using commercial primers. In univariate analysis the presence of TGF-beta1 high producer genotypes (T/T G/G or T/C G/G) was found to significantly associate with an increased number of extranodal sites (11/30 vs 3/25, p=0.035 for two or more extranodal sites in patients having or lacking the TGF-beta1 high producer genotype, respectively). TGF-beta1 high producer genotype together with other clinical and biological factors (patient sex and age, stage and aggressiveness of the disease, presence of B symptoms, serum L...Continue Reading

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

B cells: Gene Expression

B lymphocytes are white blood cells that play a role in the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. Here is the latest research on gene expression in B cells.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
