Abstract excerpt
The NcoI RFLP of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) beta gene was analyzed in a panel of 105 unrelated healthy Italian blood donors. The gene frequencies of the 10.5 kb and 5.5 kb allele were 0.73 and 0.27, respectively. The 5.5 kb band was significantly positively associated with HLA-A1, B8, DR17.1, and C4AQ0, and negatively associated with DR7.2, DQw9 and C4A6, all being specificities which belong to two...
