Promoter Polymorphisms of TNF- α Gene as a Risk Factor for Schizophrenia

The latest data showed a link between mental disorders and altered immune function. Schizophrenia is a multifactorial disease with numerous changes in the immunological system. The TNF- α gene is a strong candidate for schizophrenia susceptibility. The focus of this paper were the −1031 T/C, −863 C/A, −857 C/T, −308 G/A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TNF-α gene.
