Figure 1 Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); a comparison of TGF-β1 -800 genotype. TGF-β1 production was significantly higher in those patients with a GG -800 TGF-β1 genotype than those with a GA genotype. The thick horizontal bar denotes the median, and whiskers show the interquartile range. P = 0.031 by the Mann-Whitney U test.

Figure 2 TGF-β1 production by PBMC; a comparison of the renal parenchymal scarring (RPS) versus the no scarring (NS) groups of children. There was no significant difference in PBMC TGF-β1 production between those patients who had not developed RPS (NS) and those who had developed RPS. The thick horizontal bar denotes the median, and whiskers show the interquartile range. P = 0.198 by the Mann-Whitney U test.
