Lack of association between adult asthma and the tumour necrosis factor alpha-308 polymorphism gene.
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha is a cytokine endowed with potent inflammatory properties that may contribute to airway inflammation in asthma. It has previously been shown that the single base pair polymorphism-308 (G to A substitution) in the promoter of TNFalpha gene results in enhanced cytokine secretion. Whether this polymorphism is associated with the presence of phenotypic expression o...
متن کاملAssociation between polymorphism of tumour necrosis factor alpha-308 gene promoter and asthma: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Asthma is a complex polygenic disease in which gene-environment interactions are important. The gene encoding tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is one of several candidate loci for asthma pathogenesis and is highly polymorphic. A number of studies have investigated the polymorphism of TNFalpha-308 gene promoter (substitution G-->A, designated as TNF1 and TNF2) in relation to as...
متن کاملAssociation between polymorphism of tumour necrosis factor a-308 gene promoter and asthma: a meta-analysis
Background: Asthma is a complex polygenic disease in which gene–environment interactions are important. The gene encoding tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) is one of several candidate loci for asthma pathogenesis and is highly polymorphic. A number of studies have investigated the polymorphism of TNFa-308 gene promoter (substitution GRA, designated as TNF1 and TNF2) in relation to asthma susc...
متن کاملAssociation between Tumor Necrosis Factor- α-308 G/A Polymorphism and Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex polygenic disease in which gene-environment interactions are important. A number of studies have investigated the association between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 G/A polymorphism (substitution G→A, designated as TNF1 and TNF2) and MS susceptibility in different populations, but the results of individual studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, per...
متن کاملassociation of tumor necrosis factor alpha 308 g/a polymorphism with asthma in pakistani population
asthma is a chronic inflammatory and remodeling disorder of the airways, in which many cells, cellular elements, and cytokines play important roles. the role of tumor necrosis factor- α (tnf-α) in asthma is unclear in pakistani population. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between tnf-α -308 polymorphism and asthma.polymorphism of tnf-α (g-308-a locus; rs 1800629) in 329 asth...
