Based on previous findings for the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TNF for the predisposition for bloodstream infections, this study investigates the role of these SNPs at the promoter positions -376, -308, -238 in infective endocarditis (IE). In a case-control study, 83 patients with IE and 83 controls were enrolled. Blood genotyping for the presence of G or A alleles of the three SNPs was...
