Impacts of TNF-LTA SNPs/Haplotypes and Lifestyle Factors on Oral Carcinoma in an Indian Population.

Background And Objectives: To investigate a potential association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and  haplotypes at the TNFA-LTA locus and the development of oral cancer in an Indian population.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 150 oral precancer/cancer samples (50 precancer and 100 cancer), along with an equal number of control samples, were genotyped. Six SNPs at the TNF-LTA locus (i.
