Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between G vs A transitions in the promoter region of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha at positions -308 (TNF308.2) and -238 (TNF238.2) and clinical features of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). These two promoter TNF-alpha variants were determined in 250 biopsy-proven CHC patients by polymerase chain reaction amplification, followed by the Restriction...
