Evaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

The polymorphism -863C/A in tumour necrosis factor-alpha gene contributes an independent association to gout.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between polymorphisms in the promoter of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene and gout. METHODS The polymorphisms -308G/A and -863C/A in the TNF-alpha gene were determined in 106 gout patients and 159 healthy controls among male Taiwanese using the Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The b...

Association 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...

Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha Gene Polymorphism (-308 G-A) in Turkish Pediatric Thrombosis Patients.

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) plays an important role in clot formation by activating platelets, monocytes and endothelial cells and inducing procoagulant substances such as negatively charged phospolipids or tissue factor. There is a genetically controlled inter-individual variation of TNF-a production. Carrying TNF2 allele could have a slight protective effect against the occurence of ...

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha gene promoter polymorphism in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Tumour necrosis factor(TNF)-alpha levels are elevated in airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may contribute to its pathogenesis. A guanine to adenine substitution at position -308 of the TNF-alpha gene promoter (TNF1/2) has been associated with chronic bronchitis of various aetiologies in a Taiwanese population. The authors performed a study investigating a...
