“…Most study subjects were homozygous TNF1 or heterozygous at this site; two individuals were TNF2 homozygous (Datasheets A and D, see Supplementary Information). In all, 13 HLA-DR genotypes 1,3,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] were identified within this cohort; the HLA-DR genotype was unambiguous for all 85 specimens. Bivariate analysis of laboratory-confirmed cases showed no TNF-a polymorphism or HLA-DR genotype significantly associated with case-status (Data-sheets A and D, see Supplementary Information).…”
