1 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Our pilot study aimed to determine the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) 308 G-->A promoter single-nucleotide polymorphism in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), its influence on inflammatory activity and the clinical manifestations. METHODS: We obtained genomic DNA from 164 subjects, 82 with long-standing IBD aged 8 to 18 years: 46 with Crohn disease (CD) and 36 with...
