摘要：

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a potent inflammatory cytokine that contributes to airway inflammation in asthma. Previous studies have reported that a G-to-A transition at position -308 (-308G/A, also referred to as TNF-α-308*1 and 308*2 respectively), is associated with asthma, but other studies have shown conflicting results. To investigate a possible association between the TNF-308G/A polymorphism and asthma, we performed transmission disequilibrium tests and a case-control study (family samples: 495 members in 165 Japanese trio families with one asthmatic child and both parents; case-control samples: 461 Japanese asthmatic children and 465 healthy controls). To increase the sample size and power, we performed a meta-analysis of all available relevant studies, including 2,477 asthmatics and 3,217 controls. We did not find a significant association between the TNF-308G/A polymorphism and childhood atopic asthma in two independent Japanese populations (P>0.05); however, meta-analysis revealed that the TNF-308G/A polymorphism was statistically significantly associated with asthma. The combined odds ratio with a fixed effects model and with a random effects for TNF-308A was 1.46 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27-1.68, P=0.0000001) and 1.46 (95% CI, 1.20-1.77, P=0.00014) respectively. Our data further support the importance of the TNF region in the development of asthma. © The Japan Society of Human Genetics and Springer-Verlag 2006.
