TNF -308G > A promoter polymorphism (rs1800629) and outcome from critical illness

Abstract: Background: The susceptibility to adverse outcome from critical illness (occurrence of sepsis, septic shock, organ dysfunction/failure, and mortality) varies dramatically due to different degrees of inflammatory response. An over expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) can lead to the progression of the inflammatory condition. Objective: We assessed the relationship of the genotype distribution of-308G >A TNF-α polymorphism with regard to the development of sepsis, septic shock, higher organ dysfunct… Show more

“…The frequency distribution of the A allele observed in our study (13.83%) was similar to that observed in previous studies in the Brazilian population (12–16%) [5961]. According to data from the 1000 Genomes project, the frequency of the A allele is similar between Europeans (13%) and Africans (12%).…”

“…These studies were published between 1999 and 2015. Fourteen studies were performed in Caucasians [ 22 , 25 26 , 28 30 , 32 34 , 36 37 , 40 41 , 43 ], 12 in Asians [ 11 , 13 16 , 19 20 , 24 , 31 , 38 39 , 44 ], and the remainder in populations of mixed or unknown ethnicity [ 12 , 17 18 , 21 , 23 , 27 , 35 , 42 ]. In contrast, the most recent systematic review and meta-analysis of associations between the −308G/A polymorphism and sepsis contained 25 studies involving 2,977 patients [ 10 ].…”

“…Although susceptibility for presenting an adverse clinical course (i.e., sepsis, septic shock, multiples organ failure, or death) varies due to different degrees of inflammatory response [30], genetic factors of the host may influence the nature and intensity of this response. The present study is the first to demonstrate that the polymorphisms in genes related to the inflammatory response may, in some manner, be influencing the risk of infection by influenza A/H1N1 virus and of death from this illness.…”

“…Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (e.g., TNFα, IFNγ, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-9, IL-12 IL-15, and IL-17) have been found, up to ten days after the onset of symptoms, in the plasma of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by influenza A/H1N1 [9,10,14]. The genes that code for these molecules are polymorphic and certain alleles have been associated with susceptibility to various diseases that cover a wide range of pathologies, from infectious to oncological, including pulmonary and systemic diseases [15-30]. The role that the polymorphisms of the genes encoding these cytokines play in the severity of the disease is not clear.…”
