Why is it important?

Transforming growth factor beta 1 is a cytokine gene that is essentially implicated as a profibrotic marker promoting fibrogenesis because accumulation of pathogenic fibrillar tissue cause more damage in chronic pancreatitis.

It was interesting to see an association of TGFβ1 (−509 C/T, rs1800469 ) polymorphism with chronic pancreatitis
