Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) is a central mediator of the immunological response and the location of the gene within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has prompted much speculation about the role of TNF alpha alleles in inflammatory and MHC-associated autoimmune diseases. A G to A transition polymorphism at position -308 of the TNF alpha promoter/enhancer region has been described. The...
