Background: The genetic basis of susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poorly
understood. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a cytokine that may act as an …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common primary hepatic tumors, and it
is ranked as the third most common cause of cancer-linked deaths. Although the precise …

AIM: To investigate associations between the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-1031 T>
C,-863 C> A,-857 C> T,-308 G> A, and-238 G> A polymorphisms and HCC in Korea …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Host genetic factor and hepatic fibrosis may predispose to risk for
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to assess the association between tumor …

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) …

Several studies reported that autoimmune diseases share a number of susceptibility genes.
Of these genes, a SNP rs7708392 in TNIP1 was reported to be associated with systemic …

Abstract Objective TNF-α-308 G/A, TNF-α-238 G/A, IL-1B-31 T/C, IL-1B-511 C/T, and IL-10-
1082 G/A polymorphisms have been reported to influence the risk for hepatocellular …

Background: To assess the association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
G308A, G238A and C863T polymorphisms and hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular …

Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of tumor necrosis
factor-alpha (TNF-α)− 308 G> A polymorphism on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk …

Background & Aims Genetic polymorphisms modulate the expression of proinflammatory
cytokines. We prospectively assessed the influence of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms …
