TNF-α-308 G/A Polymorphism in Egyptian Budd-Chiari Syndrome Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon condition induced by thrombotic or non-thrombotic obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. BCS most often occurs in patients with underlying thrombotic diathesis, including such myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) as polycythemia vera and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and pregnancy, oral contraceptives, tumors, chronic inflammatory diseases, clotting disorders, and infections [1].

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with immunogenetic factors. This study was planned to test for the association of TNF-α − 308 and IFN-γ + 874 gene polymorphisms with susceptibility and severity of SLE in Egyptian cases.This is a case controlled study including 125 Egyptian cases with SLE in addition to 112 healthy unrelated individuals from the same locality. For all participan...

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief cerebral ischemic incident. This study assesses the role of TNF-α and IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as predictors of recurrent TIAs that have high risk of developing stroke. The current study enrolled 54 high risk (according to frequency of TIA) TIA (group1), 52 low risk TIA patients (group2) and 34 controls (group3). Polymerase chain rea...

To explore the association of TNF-α-308 and IFNγ +874 genetic polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Egyptian cases. Participants included 207 cases with type 2 DM, 93 males and 114 females. Their mean age was 57 years. They were compared to a control group of 212 healthy unrelated subjects from the same locality. DNA was amplified using PCR with sequence specific primers for detec...
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 کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha -308G/A polymorphism and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C virus-infected patients
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is an important cytokine in generating an immune response against infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The functions of TNF-α may be altered by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in its gene structure. We hypothesized that SNPs in TNF-α may be important in determining the outcome of an HCV infection. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the role of...
