BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by a progressive joint damage mediated mainly by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). We investigated the relationship of TNFalpha-308 and -238 polymorphisms with messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and soluble TNFalpha (sTNFalpha) in 50 RA and 100 healthy subjects (HS).
