OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin
10 (IL-10) gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to type I autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) …

Epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between tumour necrosis factor
alpha (TNF-α)-308G/A and (TNF-α)-238G/A polymorphisms, and the risk of autoimmune liver …

Background/Aims: Susceptibility to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been linked to different
HLA-DR antigens. Recently, AIH type 1 was associated with polymorphisms in the tumor …

Genetic involvement in type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is indicated by a marked female
preponderance and strong, well-established, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations …

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease and cirrhosis is sometimes
complicated with AIH at diagnosis, influencing its prognosis. TNFAIP3 gene encodes A20 …

Several studies reported that autoimmune diseases share a number of susceptibility genes.
