Haplotypes in the tumour necrosis factor region and myeloma.
This study described the haplotypic structure across a region of chromosome 6 including the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) gene, and investigated its influence on the aetiology of myeloma. A total of 181 myeloma cases from the Medical Research Council Myeloma VII trial and 233 controls from the Leukaemia Research Fund Case Control Study of Adult Acute Leukaemia were included in the analysis. Geno...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor haplotypes and asthma.
Airway inflammation is a prominent feature of asthma. The pro-inflammatory cytokine Tumour Necrosis Factor shows constitutional variation in its level of secretion, which is linked to polymorphisms within the TNF gene complex and the surrounding MHC. In this study, 413 subjects in 88 nuclear families from a general population sample were examined for association with asthma and TNF polymorphism...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor microsatellite haplotypes are associated with chronic pancreatitis.
CONTEXT Alcohol is the major aetiological agent for both chronic pancreatitis and alcoholic liver disease. However, as only a minority of alcoholics develop either chronic pancreatitis or alcoholic liver disease, there are clearly genetic or environmental cofactors that determine individual susceptibility to these diseases. OBJECTIVE To determine whether polymorphisms of the TNF gene may acco...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor haplotypes associated with sensory neuropathy in Asian and Caucasian human immunodeficiency virus patients.
In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, neuropathy is a common adverse side effect to some antiretroviral treatments, particularly stavudine. As stavudine is cheap, it is widely used in Asia and Africa. We showed that increasing age and height moderately predict the development of neuropathy. This was improved by the inclusion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-1031 (rs1799964). To investi...
