Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 contributed to angiotensin II (Ang II)-mediated collagen accumulation after myocardial infarction (MI). The present study aimed to investigate the association of genetic variant of TGF-β1 gene with the risk of MI. The present study recruited a total of 530 MI patients and 651 healthy controls. The genomic DNA was extracted and subjected into polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing. The present study indicated that TGF-β1 -913G/C polymorphism was associated with increased risk for MI under the co-dominant, dominant and allelic models. The increased risk effect was also evident among the females, younger subjects (age &lt; 60 years), smokers, non-drinkers and individuals with hypertension. Additionally, the present study observed significant differences among cases and controls in terms of total cholesterol (TC). In conclusion, TGF-β1 -913G/C polymorphism is associated with increased risk for MI. TGF-β1 -913G/C polymorphism may be a potential prognostic biomarker for MI.
