Association of six well-characterized polymorphisms in TNF-α and TNF-β genes with sarcoidosis: a meta-analysis.

<h4>Backgrounds</h4>In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of six well-characterized polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor alpha and beta (TNF-α and TNF-β) genes with the risk for sarcoidosis via a comprehensive meta-analysis.<h4>Methods and findings</h4>The...

Under a random-effects allelic model, there was marginally significant increased risk of sarcoidosis for -307A allele among Caucasians (OR=1.25; 95% CI: 0.96-1.62; P=0.09) but not among Asians (OR=2.12; 95% CI: 0.31-14.27; P=0.44).
