Objective Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are two
autoimmune diseases of unknown etiology. Genetic factors appear to be involved in the …

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 …

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) …

AIM: To characterize gene polymorphism of several cytokine gene in-patients with AIH and
PBC and to analyze the difference of the polymorphism distribution between Chinese …

Background/Aims: Primary biliary cirrhosis is an autoimmune disease in which increased
prevalence in first-degree relatives and an association with HLA DR8 suggest a genetic …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer‐related death
worldwide. Studies have shown that the tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) plays an …

Background Previous studies have shown the genetic association of tumor necrosis factor
(TNF)-α polymorphisms and susceptibility to primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the results of …

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology and several
proinflammatory cytokines are implicated in its pathogenesis. The association of TNF-α gene …

Objective To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and chronic severe hepatitis B. Methods Single …

Background/aims: The incidence of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is increased in the close
relatives of patients, suggesting that genetic factors play a role in disease susceptibility …
