Popis: | BACKGROUND Four polymorphisms have been described associated with either increased risk for alcoholic liver disease (ALD) or more serious histological lesions: tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) G(-238)A, interleukin-10 (IL-10) C(-627)A, promoter of CD14 endotoxin receptor gene C(-159)T and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) C(-1183)T/valine --> alanine. METHODS We sought confirmatory evidence, through individual and simultaneous analysis of the four aforementioned polymorphisms, in 176 heavy drinkers: ALD (n = 100) if histology-compatible or clinical evidence of hepatic decompensation; and no evidence of liver disease (NLD) (n = 76) if normal liver tests on two occasions or normal liver histology (steatosis alone). RESULTS Patients with ALD were older (53+/-10 vs. 48+/-10 years, P |
