Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a potent cytokine with a wide range of pro-inflammatory activities and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of a number of infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. We determined four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), -1031(C/T), -863(C/A), -857(C/T), and -308(G/A) in the TNFalpha promoter region using melting temperature analysis, among...
