Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene encoding the tumour necrosis factor α cell surface receptor, TNFR1, cause TNFR-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) and polymorphisms in TNFRSF1A, including rs4149570, rs767455 and rs1800692, are associated with inflammatory diseases. OBJECTIVES: To describe a new exon 2-spliced transcript-TNFR1-d2-and the impact of these three single nucleotide polymorphisms on exon 2...
