Abstract excerpt
Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and presence of polymorphisms of the TNFA gene have been implicated in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis. We explored the relationship between polymorphisms in the TNFA gene (-1031C/T, -863C/A -857T/C, -308G/A, -238G/A), protein levels of TNF-alpha and their association to myocardial infarction (MI) using a sample of 1213 post-MI patients and 1561...
