Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) may contribute to the pathologic process of congestive heart failure (CHF). TNFα signaling occurs through two receptors; TNFR1 (TNFRSF1A) and TNFRII (TNFRSF1B). In humans a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1061622 in TNFRSF1B exon 6; T587G) encodes two different amino acids (M196R) in the transmembrane region. The 587G allele is associated with greater severity and/or prevalence of...
