چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1)-4533/8092, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-238/308 polymorphisms, and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Guangxi Zhuang population of China. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used to detect the ERCC1-4533/8092 and TNF-α-238/308 polymorphisms in 88 cases with HCC and 82 cases of normal control. RESULTS There were no differences in the frequency distribution of ERCC1-4533 and TNF-α-238 polymorphisms in the HCC group and the control group (P > 0.05). The genotype frequency distributions of the ERCC1-8092 and TNF-α-308 in the HCC group and the control group were different (P < 0.05). Compared with ERCC1-8092 CC genotype, ERCC1-C8092 CA/AA genotype had higher risk of HCC (CA/AA vs CC; odds ratio 3.51, 95% confidence interval 1.03-12.016). Compared with TNF-α-308 GG genotype, TNF-α-308 GA/AA genotype was significantly associated with an increased risk of HCC (GA/AA vs GG; odds ratio 3.84, 95% confidence interval 1.011-14.57). CONCLUSION The genetic polymorphisms of ERCC1-8092 and TNF-α-308 are associated with the risk of HCC in Guangxi Zhuang population of China.

BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been suggested to play a very important role in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Many studies have identified the associations of TNF-α-308 and -238 polymorphisms with HCC risk, but the results remain controversial. AIM We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the associations between TNF-α-308 and -238 polymo...

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

Background and Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an infectious disease in human which kills nearly three millions of people annually. Approximately, one - third of the world populations are infected with this bacteria and 5 - 10 % of them develop the active form of the disease. Individuals are different in susceptibility to TB infection. These differences mig...

We investigated whether the tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) promoter -238 A/G and -308 A/G polymorphisms are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and vitiligo susceptibility. MEDLINE and EMBASE databases and a manual search were used to identify articles in which TNF-α polymorphisms were determined in RA or vitiligo patients and controls. Meta-analysis was used to examine the associations ...
