TNF-α G-308A genetic variants, serum CRP-hs concentration and DNA damage in obese women.
Molecular biology reports 20190321 2
Obesity is associated with inflammation, which can disturb genome stability. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) polymorphism was found to affect TNF-α protein production and inflammation. Therefore, the present study illustrates the relationship between TNF-α polymorphism, the degree of inflammation assessed by serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein concentration (CRP-hs) and basal DNA damage in patients with obesity (BMI 30-34.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and control subjects with proper body mass (BMI < ...[more]
