Abstract excerpt
It has been hypothesized that polymorphisms of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha gene affect the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, results of different studies are often inconsistent. Our aim was to investigate by meta-analysis the association of the common polymorphisms comprehensively defining the genetic variability of the TNF-alpha gene with AD risk. Hence, the results being stated are of...
