Tumor Necrosis Factor-α G-308A Polymorphism and Sporadic IgA Nephropathy: A Meta-Analysis Using a Genetic Model-Free Approach

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, involved in the pathogenesis and progression of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). A bi-allelic polymorphism in the promoter region, at position -308 (G/A) of the TNF-α gene (rs1800629) is associated with an increased TNF-a production. However, several previous association studies of TNF-α G-308A polymorphism and IgAN rendered contradictory findings. The objective of the present study is to shed light on these inconclusive results and cla… Show more

“…Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a predetermined selection of a specific genetic model. It is worth noting that this metric has been successfully applied in diverse research contexts, including studies related to conditions like diabetic nephropathy, IgAN, and chronic kidney disease [46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”
