Association of TGF-β1 Polymorphism and TGF-β1 Levels With Chronic Hepatitis C and Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Despite the extensive research conducted on the relationship between transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) polymorphisms and levels and the onset and development of liver disease, there are still certain gaps that need to be addressed. To address these gaps and provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge, this review aimed to identify relevant published research on TGF-β1/TGF-β1 polymorphism, TGF-β1/TGF-β1 levels, and their associations with cirrhosis and hepatitis C. The synthesis of available data was performed to further enhance our understanding in this area. Adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, a search strategy was implemented across several online databases to search for relevant articles as per the d
