The cytokine TNF-alpha. Genetics and suitability for prenatal risks assessment.

Saudi medical journal - 1 Feb 2004

El-Harith El-Harith A

Abstract excerpt

The tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine known as a mediator of inflammation and immunity. The genes coding the tumor necrosis factors alpha and beta are considered part of class III major histocompatability complex. The 2 involved genes have been mapped to chromosome 6. Certain mutations in the TNF-alpha gene are believed to be causative for increased production of the cytokine. In this respect, the...
