Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) contributes in inflammation and has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNF-α promoter could affect the risk of CRC by regulating TNF-α production. This is the first study to investigate TNF-α SNPs in a Middle Eastern population. In this study, we examined three SNPs in TNF-α for association with CRC. One...
