Objectives: To perform a case-control study of a functional M196R polymorphism of tumour necrosis factor receptor type 2 (TNF-RII) in a Japanese population and a meta-analysis of all published reports on the polymorphism to investigate the association of the M196R polymorphism of TNF-RII with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: The functional M196R polymorphism of TNF-RII was genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction combined with the subsequent single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis for screening, followed by nucleotide sequencing for confirmation. A total of 331 patients and 359 controls were subjected to a case-control study. A meta-analysis of the available case-control studies including all published data as well as our own data was performed to investigate the association of the functional M196R polymorphism of TNF-RII with SLE.
Results: Our case-control study did not show any significant association of a functional M196R polymorphism of TNF-RII with SLE, although there was a trend towards association. A meta-analysis of seven case-control studies in eight different ethnic populations including our own showed that 196M/R and 196R/R genotypes combined was significantly associated with an increased risk of SLE (odds ratio (OR) 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04 to 1.60; p = 0.02). Stratification by ethnicity showed a more significant association in Asians, including Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.78; p = 0.006). The effect of the 196R allele on SLE was not clear in Caucasians.
Conclusions: The 196R allele of the functional M196R polymorphism of TNF-RII is a risk factor for SLE, especially in the Asian population.

The TNFRSF1B rs1061622 polymorphism (p.M196R) is associated with biological drug outcome in Psoriasis patients.

Genetic factors are involved not only in the overall risk of suffering psoriasis, but also in their clinical characteristics and eventually in drug outcome. Biological therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis of Psoriasis. However, these treatments are very expensive and patients often exhibit a heterogeneous response that could be partially attributed to their genetic background.

Background: Narcolepsy is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and abnormal rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) and its cognate receptors have been reported to be involved in the pathophysiology of narcolepsy in addition to the HLA antigen system. Our study aimed to determine if the TNF-α system was associated with narcolepsy in our patients.

Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) may contribute to the pathologic process of congestive heart failure (CHF). TNFα signaling occurs through two receptors; TNFR1 (TNFRSF1A) and TNFRII (TNFRSF1B). In humans a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1061622 in TNFRSF1B exon 6; T587G) encodes two different amino acids (M196R) in the transmembrane region.

Objective: There is little information about the combination of genetic variability in pregnant women and their children in relation to the risk of preterm delivery (PTD). In a sub-cohort of 487 non-Hispanic white and 288 African-American mother/child pairs, the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health Study assessed 10 functional polymorphisms in 9 genes involved in innate immune function.
Methods: Race-stratified weighted logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios for genotype and PTD/PTD subtypes.

Background: Inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2) and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) are the main responsible mediators of inflammatory acne. Factors affecting their production may possibly influence the degree of inflammatory response and hence may account for the clinical severity of acne. However, the roles of TNFR2 and TLR2 in the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris are poorly understood.
