Abstract: Introduction: There are reports that the TNFα gene (rs1800629) can be involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome through an increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, we have decided to search for the relationship between the TNFα gene polymorphisms and serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, IFNγ) and CRP in women with metabolic syndrome.Material and methods: The study sample consisted of 416 women aged 45-60 years, including 118 with metabolic syndrome… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the results are still rather inconsistent. We have reviewed a number of studies reporting the levels of TNF-α in different populations of mixed adults across the different genotypes for some of those variants, predominantly for the −308 G/A [ 41 , 42 , 137 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 ] ( Table S7 ). As repeatedly indicated in the previous sections, we found a very high intra-subgroup (genotype) variability with most CV% values well above 30% and in many cases >100%.…”

“…In line with these recent data, and for validating the associations previously observed [22], here, we aimed to investigate the potential association of functional polymorphisms in IL-6, IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-18, and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)A genes with TAAA susceptibility, pathogenesis, and outcome, in 144 patients affected by sporadic TAAA and 150 age/gender matched controls. Five functional promoter polymorphisms in the genes encoding for IL-6, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α pro-inflammatory cytokines, known to be functionally important, because they influence both the transcription rate of the related genes and cytokine plasma concentrations, have been selected [26][27][28][29][30]. In addition, we evaluated the eventual genotypes of these gene variants able to influence in a significant manner the systemic levels of the analyzed cytokines and other inflammatory markers (i.e., proteases), as well as the amounts of tissue infiltrated CD3+CD4+CD8+CD68+CD20+ immune/inflammatory cells.…”
