Association of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) -308G>A and -238G>A Polymorphisms with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Risk: A Meta-Analysis
Background: Studies have been carried out to evaluate the association of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene promoter region polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) risk. However, the results remain controversial and incomplete. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of TNF-α -308G>A and -238G>A polymorphisms with RPL risk. Materials and Methods: A comprehens...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-α gene polymorphisms in FMF and their association with amyloidosis.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by periodic provocative attacks of fever with peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis, or eriseplemya. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays an important role in the regulation of the immune response as a part of the cytokine network, including activation of macrophages and apoptosis. We investigated the possible asso...
متن کاملThe effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) rs1800629 and rs361525 polymorphisms on sepsis risk
This meta-analysis of 23 eligible articles comprehensively and quantitatively evaluated the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) rs1800629 and rs361525 polymorphisms on sepsis risk. We found that TNF-α rs1800629 was associated with increased sepsis risk in the overall population in four genetic models, including A vs. G (P<0.001, odds ratio (OR)=1.32), GA vs. GG (P<0.001, OR=1.46), GA+AA ...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of the Association of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphisms with Psoriatic Arthritis in the Romanian Population
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis. We have performed a case-control association study of three TNF-alpha gene polymorphisms in a group of Romanian psoriatic arthritis patients versus ethnically matched controls. A second group of patients with undifferentiated spondyloarthritis was used in orde...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor (TNF) in psoriatic arthritis: pathophysiology and treatment with TNF inhibitors.
High levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF), have been detected in psoriatic skin lesions and joints of patients with the inflammatory disease. Early results of treatment of psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis with TNF neutralising agents are encouraging, but whether these agents will be able to improve long term outcomes, such as disability, is not yet known.
