Abstract excerpt
The gene for tumour necrosis factor (TNF) lies at the telomeric end of the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Polymorphisms within this gene have been implicated in the genetic background of a large number of common human diseases. Recently two polymorphisms, TNF +489 and +691, have been described in the first intron of TNF (+489, G to A transition; +691, G deletion) and disease...
