Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) outcome was found to be related to the TNF(-308) polymorphism. To explore whether this could be linked to neighboring polymorphisms, we genotyped the TNF(-376,-308,-238,-163), lymphotoxin alpha (LTalpha)(+252), and HLA DRB1 alleles in 204 patients with NHL and 120 controls. TNF(-308A) was the only allele associated with higher TNF and its p55...
