TNF-α -308 A allele is associated with an increased risk of distant metastasis in rectal cancer patients from Southwestern China

et al.

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), an important factor in systematic inflammation, is reportedly involved in several cancer types. The TNF-α -308 G>A (rs1800629) polymorphism in the promoter region influences TNF-α production. The association between TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism and colorectal cancer (CRC) is not fully understood, especially the connections between TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism and clinical features of CRC. In this study, TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism was genotyped in 1140 individuals with or without… Show more

“…The frequency of heterozygous mutation (GA) and secondary allele (A) is significantly higher in gastric cancer patients than in healthy control group ( 16 , 17 ). TNF-α-308 allele polymorphism is associated with body mass index (BMI) and distant metastasis of colorectal cancer patients, and A allele can increase the risk of distant metastasis of colorectal cancer ( 18 ).…”
