A promoter mutation in the tumor necrosis factor alpha gene is not associated with preeclampsia.

Abstract excerpt

Preeclampsia is associated with increased plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and TNF receptors. A mutation in the promoter region of the TNF alpha gene (TNF T2) has been described which is associated with increased transcription of the gene. Due to the familial predisposition of preeclampsia, we hypothesized that this promoter mutation in the TNF alpha gene may contribute to the...
