TNF-αPolymorphisms in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Which Potential Clinical Implications?

Abstract: Whether tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms (SNPs) influence disease susceptibility and treatment of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is presently uncertain. TNF-α is one of the most important cytokine involved in JIA pathogenesis. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified within the region of the TNF-α gene but only a very small minority have proven functional consequences and have been associated with susceptibility to JIA. An association between … Show more

“…As mentioned in the Introduction, some of the JIA patients are known to be non‐responsive to Etanercept (Scardapane et al, ). Exercise or physical therapy of the jaw can act as a sophisticated, non‐invasive therapy to inhibit IL‐1/TNF‐α‐induced catabolic enzymes like MMP‐13.…”

“…Several studies have measured high amounts of TNF- α in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [6062]. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease caused by autoimmune responses, and it is aggravated by excessive bone resorption in the peripheral joints [63].…”

“…In addition, the −308G genotype has been associated with better response to anti-TNF-α treatment in JIA patients, confirming adult data [17]. In some studies oligoarticular arthritis is significantly associated to the −238 SNP [10] [16] [18] [19].…”

“…An association between some TNF-α SNPs and adult rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility, severity and clinical response to anti-TNF-α treatment has been reported [10]- [13]. Furthermore, associations between TNF-α SNPs and subtypes of JIA have been found [12] [13].…”
