Tumor Necrosis Factor-a -308 Gene Polymorphism Is Associated with Synthetic Hemodialysis Graft Failure

BackgroundProgressive venous stenosis mediated, in part, by inflammatory cytokines is a major cause of synthetic hemodialysis graft failure. A tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene polymorphism (G to A, position -308) has been shown to increase plasma cytokine levels and severity of diseases with an...
