Abstract excerpt
The promoter polymorphisms of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and intronic Lymphotoxin-α (LTα) have been implicated as genetic risk factors for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in various ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to investigate an impact of TNF-α (-308G/A; 238G/A) and LTα (+252A/G) gene polymorphisms in disease susceptibility among Indian 200 SLE patients along with 201 healthy controls.
