The G-308A polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene does not predict changes in cardiac function in response to medical therapy for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Cardiovascular journal of Africa - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The G-308A polymorphism of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene, a variant that influences TNF-alpha transcription, may contribute to non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy. To evaluate whether TNF-alpha genotyping may assist in identifying a subset of patients who could potentially be...
