In previously published reports mRNA expression of TGF-β was evaluated mostly in healthy tissues [10,21,24,25], and only a few authors have analyzed the expression profile of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 in the course of bullous keratopathy [1,3,5]. The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is vesiculobullous skin disease.
