Lack of tumor necrosis factor alpha gene polymorphism ‐857c/t (rs1799724) association in Pakistani rheumatoid arthritis patients

Abstract: The study demonstrated -857C/T (rs1799724) polymorphism may not have influenced RA susceptibility in our study group. However, investigations of genetic variability influence on disease outcome in large prospective cohorts are required, so the complicated interconnection of genetic and environmental elements can be emulated for better understanding.

“…It determined that the TNFA -857C/T SNP is not associated with the risk of developing RA. Few studies of the association of this SNP with RA have been published, but our data agree with those reported for a Pakistani population [17], though not with those from a Chinese Han sample. It is important to note that the allelic frequencies in the study of the Chinese Han population were not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium [18].…”

“…Despite conflicting data regarding rs17999724 and autoimmune diseases, the findings agree with meta-analyses of diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis [20], Crohn’s disease [21] and vitiligo [18] using additive, dominant, and allele models. In contrast, a lack of this association was documented for idiopathic nephrotic syndrome [30] and rheumatoid arthritis [31]. These contradictory results might be explained by differences in ethnic origin or disease presentation or in number of individuals studied.…”

“…Conversely, inconsistency among the different studies exists regarding TNF-α promoter polymorphisms’ association with RA outcome [14, 15]. There are limited data available concerning SNPs and RA disease susceptibility association in Pakistan [16, 17]. Still, there is a great need to explore the association studies of RA susceptible genes’ polymorphism not only in our study group but also in different ethnic groups due to conflicting results.…”
