TNF-308A and HLA-DR3 alleles contribute independently to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract: Objective. To evaluate the respective contributions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) promoter polymorphisms and HLA-DR alleles to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods. TNF-238G/A and 308G/A promoter polymorphisms and HLA-DRB1 alleles were determined in 99 consecutive Caucasian SLE patients and 177 Caucasian controls. Standard and Mantel-Haenszel odds ratios were calculated to assess the magnitude of the susceptibility factors. The presence or absence of the SLE classification criteria was… Show more

“…The AA genotype in the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism has been significantly associated with increased production of TNF-α and, in some cases, with increased morbidity and mortality in sepsis, malaria, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, leishmaniasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune type 1 hepatitis, and other diseases mediated by the immune system (32). This allele also seems to be involved in the development of inflammatory and degenerative diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis (33), systemic lupus erythematosus (34), and rheumatic fever (35).…”

“…Fifteen patients and 7 controls who were positive for DRB1*03 were negative for the TNF2 allele, and 13 patients and 4 controls who were positive for the TNF2 allele were negative for DRB1*03. The conflicting results concerning the independence of TNF2 and HLA-DR in the genetic predisposition to systemic lupus erythematosus (32,33) shows how difficult it is to evaluate the importance of linkage disequilibrium in the interaction of these 2 factors in susceptibility to human diseases.…”

“…El alelo TNF2 se ha asociado con susceptibilidad al LES en poblaciones caucásicas, tanto en desequilibrio de ligamiento con HLA-DR3 (45,46) como independientemente de este locus (47,48). Por el contrario, en población mexicana con alto porcentaje amerindio (49) o en africanos (46) no se ha observado tal asociación.…”
