Detection of TNF- α as a Cofactor in the Pathogenesis of Nasal Polypi

ConclusionAccording to scientific evidence on TNF- α gene promoter G/A 308 polymorphism in Egypt, it seems that the pattern of genotypic distribution in all areas is the same. However, we found the greater amount of allele A in this study compared with the control group, and the occurrence of G/A genotype related to NP but for more valid results, a larger sample size is necessary. However on our results this polymorphism might be considered as a risk factor of susceptibility of NP in Egyptian people.
