Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) genes map on the short arm of chromosome 6 and have been described to contain several polymorphic regions, the most informative of which are TNFa (13 alleles) and TNFb (8 alleles) microsatellites. We analyze TNFa and TNFb microsatellite polymorphisms in 58 Italian patients with glioblastoma (GBL) and 95 unrelated healthy controls. At the TNFb locus, we detected a statistically...
