TNFA, IL1B, HMGB1, IL10, CXCL8, CCL2 and CCR5 gene polymorphisms were investigated in 183 Japanese Encephalitis (JE) cases and 361 healthy controls from North India. Higher frequency of TNFA rs1800629 G/A, CCR5 rs1799987 genotypes with A allele and lower frequency of combination lacking TNFA rs1800629 A, CCR5 rs333 Δ32, andCCR5 rs1799987 A alleles and CCL2 rs1024611 G/G genotype was observed in JE cases. TNFA rs1800629 A and CCR5 rs1799987 A alleles were associated with susceptibility while combination lacking TNFA rs1800629 A, CCR5 rs333 Δ32, and rs1799987 A alleles and CCL2 rs1024611 G/G genotype was associated with protection to JE.

Evading apoptosis fuels the aggressive nature of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study explored the potential roles of TNF-α, a pro-apoptotic cytokine, and TGF-β, a pro-proliferative factor, in the risk of developing ALL in Egyptian children. We investigated the TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and serum TGF-β levels in 100 ALL patients and 100 healthy controls.

Article Synopsis
- This study reviews past research on the link between maternal genetic variations and spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), highlighting inconsistencies in findings.
- The systematic review included 81 studies, primarily using hypothesis-based methods, and identified significant associations, particularly with the tumor necrosis factor α gene (rs1800629).
- Ultimately, no single genetic variant was consistently linked to sPTB risk, but several genes were identified as potential areas for further research.

This study investigated the potential role of specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes (), (), , (), (), and () to assess whether these genetic variants contribute to the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). A case-control study was conducted involving 573 women from Croatia and Slovenia: 248 with sporadic sPTB (positive personal and negative family history of sPTB before 37 weeks' gestation), 44 with familial sPTB (positive personal and family history of sPTB before 37 weeks' gestation), and 281 control women. The analysis of rs146756455, rs2963463, rs2946169, rs201450565, rs188343966, and rs1800629 SNPs was performed using TaqMan real-time PCR.

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a public health concern in resource limited settings like Ghana. Over the past decades, it is noted that the natural course of HBV in persons infected are taking a worse turn leading to liver cirrhosis and cancer. The outcome of HBV infection is influenced by viral and host factors including genetics.

Objectives: To investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms in suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1), tumor necrosis factor-⍺ (TNF-α) and its receptors 1 and 2 (TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF1B), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-b (RANK), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), and persistent apical periodontitis (PAP).
Methods: Patients with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis at the time of non-surgical root canal treatment were followed up for at least one year. A total of 423 subjects were included, 172 with signs/symptoms of PAP and 251 with apical periodontitis healed.
