BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the TNF-A gene have been associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in some case-control studies. Previous work has shown that COPD/chronic bronchitis subjects with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency with the rs361525 TNF-α single nucleotide polymorphism have 100 times more TNF-in spontaneous sputum than disease matched controls. Our objective was to determine if the...
