An analysis of tumor necrosis factor [alpha] gene polymorphisms and haplotypes with natural clearance of hepatitis C virus infection

The cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is important in generating an immune response against a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The functions of TNF-alpha may be altered by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in its gene, TNF. We hypothesized that SNPs in TNF may be important in d...
