We studied association of the TNF gene -238G>A polymorphism (rs361525) with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis development in the Russian population living in the Republic of Karelia. The influence of rs361525 on the development of rheumatoid arthritis was revealed: genetic predisposition to this disease is associated with the presence of GG genotype. The effect of the genotype on the polymorphic locus of -238G>A on TNF mRNA content was revealed. Increased content of transcripts of this gene is associated with the presence of A allele.
我们研究了肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)基因-238G>A多态性(rs361525)与居住在卡累利阿共和国的俄罗斯人群类风湿关节炎发病风险的关联。揭示了rs361525对类风湿关节炎发病的影响:该疾病的遗传易感性与GG基因型的存在有关。揭示了基因型对TNF基因-238G>A多态性位点上TNF mRNA含量的影响。该基因转录本含量的增加与A等位基因的存在有关。
