association of vntr polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (tnfrsf1b) with pulmonary tuberculosis

چکیده
this study was designed to find out the impact of the variable number of tandem repeats (vntr) of the tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (tnfrsf1b) on pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) risk in an iranian population. this case-control study was done on 159 ptb patients and 158 healthy subjects. bi-allelic tnfrsf1b vntr was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction. logistic regression analysis revealed no significant association between tnfrsf1b vntr and ptb risk (p>0.05). our findings proposed that tnfrsf1b vntr polymorphism is unlikely to confer susceptibility to ptb.

متن کاملEvaluation 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...
متن کاملAssociation of tumor necrosis factor-α gene polymorphism with osteoarticular tuberculosis prognosis in a Hebei population.
This study investigated the association of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-308, -238, and -863 polymorphisms with osteoarticular tuberculosis (OA-TB) prognosis in a Hebei population. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood samples of 120 OA-TB patients and 100 healthy volunteers. TNF-α-308, -238, and -863 were analyzed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism; genotype and allele fre...
متن کاملassociation between interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (il1rn) variable number of tandem repeats (vntr) polymorphism and pulmonary tuberculosis.
macrophages and t-lymphocytes are involved in immune response to mycobacterium tuberculosis. macrophage produces interleukin (il)-1 as an inflammatory mediator. il-1 receptor antagonist (il1-ra) is a natural antagonist of il-1 receptors. in this study we aimed to examine the possible association between the variable number of tandem repeats (vntr) of the il-1 receptor antagonist (il1rn) gene an...
