9 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are types of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of which the actual causes remain unknown. Emerging data indicate that alterations in cytokine synthesis may be involved in IBD pathogenesis. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α mRNA expression level and rs1799964 polymorphism are the genetic susceptibility...
