Purpose: The association between TNF-α-308(G/A) and -238(G/A) polymorphisms and the susceptibility of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH) was investigated in many studies with conflicting results. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between them comprehensively.
Methods: Relevant literatures published in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG Data, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (CSTJ) updated to January 30, 2018, were reviewed by two investigators independently. Odds ratios (ORs) and its 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by a fixed-effect model based on the indistinctive heterogeneity.
Results: For TNF-α-308(G/A) polymorphism, we recruited five studies including 432 NONFH patients and 760 controls and a statistically significant association was identified in Asians in four modes consisting of alleles mode (OR = 0.648, 95% CI 0.475-0.885), homozygote mode (OR = 0.330, 95% CI 0.136-0.802), dominant mode (OR = 0.344, 95% CI 0.143-0.827), and recessive mode (OR = 0.674, 95% CI 0.468-0.971), but no significant association was observed in Caucasians. For TNF-α-238(G/A) polymorphism, three eligible studies including 275 cases and 610 controls were evaluated and there was a significant association in alleles mode (OR = 0.270, 95% CI 0.4148-0.490) as well as recessive mode (OR = 0.254, 95% CI 0.138-0.468).
Conclusion: This meta-analysis shows that TNF-α-308(G/A) and -238(G/A) polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility of NONFH, while the significant association for 308(G/A) is mainly observed in Asians.

Objectives: Inflammation is increasingly recognized as a key factor in the pathophysiology of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). While previous research has established significant links between TNF-α polymorphisms and BPD susceptibility, further validation of these associations is needed. This study aims to examine the relationship between TNF-α polymorphisms and the risk of BPD.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association between the TNF-α -308G > A and - 238G > A polymorphisms and lung cancer risk.
Method: A comprehensive search was conducted for relevant articles across databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CNKI, up to September 25, 2023. Lung cancer risk was assessed by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies. A functional SNP, -238G>A in the promoter region of TNF-α, affects the gene transcription activity with implications on human pregnancy. Previous limited studies, linking the TNF-α -238 G>A to the risk of recurrent miscarriage have been inconclusive.

Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to explore how specific genetic variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs) in the TNFα gene affect the effectiveness of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
- Eighty patients receiving ADA were monitored over 24 weeks, evaluating the impact of six specific SNPs on treatment outcomes.
- Results indicated that patients with the +489 A allele had significantly better responses to ADA, suggesting that testing for this SNP could help predict which patients will benefit most from the therapy.
