Abstract excerpt
A polymorphism, -179G/T, in the promoter of the interferon (IFN)-gamma gene (IFNG) confers differential tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inducibility to the IFNG promoter. The rarer allele, -179T, but not -179G, is inducible by TNF-alpha. We investigated the effects of IFNG -179G/T on AIDS...
