ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the roles of transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 gene polymorphisms in severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus(SARS-CoV)infection and the interstitial lung fibrosis after recovered.Methods Sixty-five recovered SARS patients,37 health care workers and 66 healthy controls were enrolled in this case-case study.The association between genetic polymorphisms of TG F-β1 and suscept ibility to SARS or interstitial lung changes after SARS reco,vered was carried out.Polymerase chain reaction-sequencing based typing(PCR-SBT)method was used to determine the polymorphisms of TGF-β1 gene at locus+869 and+915.Data were analyzed using t test and chi square test.Results There was no significant association of TGF+β1 gene polymorphisms at locus+869 and+915 in recovered SARS patients,health care workers and heahhy controls.And gene linkage of this two loci was not related with SARS-CoV susceptibility.Furthermore,no association between interstitial lung changes in recovered SARS palients and TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms or genetic linkage of this two loci.Conclusions It may not be related between TGFβ1 gene polymorphisms at locus+869 and+915 and SARS-CoV susceptibility.And interstitial lung changes in recovered SARS patients may not be influenced by TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms.
