TNF-308 G/A polymorphism and risk of acne vulgaris: a meta-analysis.
<h4>Background</h4>The -308 G/A polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene has been implicated in the risk of acne vulgaris, but the results are inconclusive. The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate the overall association between the -308 G/A polymorphism and acne vulga...
