Influence of TNF Gene Polymorphism in Patients with Acute and Fulminant Hepatitis

TNFα helps grow and maintain liver cells in 3D culture for a long time.

This study found that among COVID-19 patients, a higher presence of the G allele in the IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism correlates with increased inflammatory markers and disease severity, noting higher ESR, CRP, Fibrinogen, LDH, and D-dimer levels in severe cases compared to mild ones.

In this case-control study, the researchers found no significant association between IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata susceptibility among the Egyptian population.

This study found no increased frequency of the TNF2 allele in Mexican patients with adverse cutaneous drug reactions mediated by delayed hypersensitivity, suggesting its lower relevance compared to findings in Caucasian populations.
