Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia trachomatis-induced fallopian tube damage leading to tubal factor infertility (TFI) is linked with TNF, IL-10, and probably IFNG gene polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to clarify the contribution of these cytokine gene polymorphisms to interindividual variation in C trachomatis-specific immune responses and the cross-regulation of secreted cytokines and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)....
