In the multivariate analysis, three SNPs (i.e., interleukin 6 (IL6) rs2069840, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8) rs4073, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) rs1800610) and two TNF CpG sites (i.e., c.-350C, c.-344C) were associated with pain group membership.
To test this hypothesis, we investigated the role of TNF-α polymorphism [-863C/A (rs1800630), -308G/A (rs1800629), -376G/A (rs1800750), -857C/T (rs1799724) and +489G/A (rs1800610)] in the susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.
Six common genetic variants (rs2229094, rs1041981, rs1800630, rs1800629, rs361525, and rs1800610) in the TNF-LTA locus encoding the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and lymphotoxin-alpha have been shown to be associated with various metabolic traits including susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and increased body mass index (BMI) in Caucasians from different geographic locations and have yielded mixed results.

We examined associations between six TNF single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1799964, rs1800630, rs1799724, rs1800629, rs361525, rs1800610) and prostate cancer risk among 2,321 cases and 2,560 controls from two nested case-control studies within the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO, n = 2,561, 5 SNPs) and the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort (Nutrition Cohort, n = 2,320, 6 SNPs).
