“…An evaluation of the multiple polymorphisms in the TNF region revealed that these are in good fit with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this population. In addition to the positive association of TNF Ϫ238G and/or TNF Ϫ308A alleles with T1D, as reported in other populations [37,45,50,51], we also observed a significant positive association of the TNFa5 allele in the North Indian population. The fact that TNF Ϫ308A allele is a "high expressor" allele [35,52] explains the immunological basis of its association with the inflammatory stage of pathogenesis of T1D to some extent.…”

“…The localization of TNF genes in the MHC class III region between HLA-B and HLA-DR loci suggests that genetic polymorphisms in TNF might be in strong LD with HLA class I and class II genes as a part of the conserved MHC haplotype. Although several studies have reported an independent association of the TNF polymorphism with T1D in variable populations [38,[42][43][44][45], others failed to replicate the same in their studies [46]. These results highlight possible populationbased variations in TNF association with T1D, although other factors that include discordance in study design, statistical evaluations, sample size, and methods of genotyping employed in different studies can also affect ethnic discrepancies.…”

“…The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non‐receptor type 22 (PTPN22) T1D risk allele was associated with HbA1c level, but this finding was not replicated in an independent study that used the insulin dose‐adjusted HbA1c measure (IDAAC), defined by Mortensen et al in 2009 . Associations reported for the candidate genes interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), T lymphocyte‐associated antigen‐4 (CTLA4), and tumour necrosis factor‐Alpha (TNF‐α) genes did not remain significant after correcting for multiple testing. Another study reported suggestive TLR3 association with HbA1c level, but these results are inconclusive considering that a difference of age at onset of 7 years was noted between the two studied groups and so was possibly responsible for the effect …”

“…These candidate gene association studies have never been or have been poorly replicated, except for angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) gene . Five of the 13 selected studies reported significant or suggestive associations, which were however never replicated …”
