Abstract excerpt
Conflicting results have arisen among different ethnic populations with regard to the ability of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to control the development of bronchial asthma. We examined common TNF polymorphisms (TNFA -1031C>T, TNFA -308G>A, and TNFB +252A>G) to develop a model of the associations between these genetic markers and the development of the disease in Egypt. Amplified DNA from buccal mucosa was...
