Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with a TNF polymorphism that affects an interaction between the OCT1 and NF-kappaB transcription factors
16 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) expression is increased in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and TNF maps to the IBD3 susceptibility locus. Transmission disequilibrium and case-control analyses, in two independent Caucasian cohorts, showed a novel association of the TNF(-857C) promoter polymorphism with IBD (overall P=0.001 in 587 IBD families). Further genetic associations of TNF(-857C) with IBD...
