Cytokine Gene Polymorphism in Human Disease Summary

This database was created to house the information from a systematic review of the association of cytokine polymorphisms with human disease and was updated twice after that.

As in each of the published articles, the data are presented in three tables. The first includes all discovered cytokine gene polymorphisms. In the left-hand menu these can be found on the ' List of Polymorphisms Page'. The second table states the effect of these polymorphisms in in-vitro studies. These can be found in the ' Effect on Expression' page. The third table details the in vivo disease association studies, which have been further divided into those about 'TNFa/LTa and' those for 'Other' cytokines have been combined. Therefore each heading on the left-hand menu will lead to a table containing research on both of these publications. The information from the first publication and that from Supplement 1 have been combined and, all the tables of Supplement 2 are found on their own dedicated page in the left-hand menu.

A typical table details a study per line containing information on the gene and polymorphism, the phenotype, the study citation and the overall result.
