Abstract:
Biallelic polymorphism in the promotor region of the TNF-alpha gene have been associated with variation in TNF-alpha production. We determined the TNFA polymorphism (position--308) and related these data to plasma cytokine levels of TNF alpha, IL6, IL6R and IL8 in patients with SIRS and sepsis. Although there seems to be a different cytokine secretion pattern for both allelic groups (TNFA1 and TNFA2), a clear risk group could not be determined. It still remains unclear whether there is a genetic factor that influences the development of sepsis and multi organ failure.
