Are genetic polymorphisms of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-10, CD14 endotoxin receptor or manganese superoxide dismutase associated with alcoholic liver disease?

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).

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).
