Association of -238G/A and -863C/A polymorphisms in the TNF-α gene with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on a meta-analysis

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease; increasing evidence indicates that the TNF-α polymorphism is associated with progression of this disease. Few studies have focused upon association between TNF-α -238G/A or -863C/A polymorphism and COPD risk. Reported associations have been controversial because of small sample size and varied study design among the different studies. We performed a metaanalysis to assess the correlation of these two polymorphism… Show more
