摘要:	Purpose Genetic factors are known to play a role in the aetiology of glaucoma, and in particular the role of the immune system is highly suspected. In this study, we evaluated the association between tumour necrosis factor alpha -308 (TNF alpha -308) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods A total of sixty POAG patients and 103 healthy volunteers as control group were enrolled in this case-controlled study. Furthermore, we used polymerase chain reaction based analysis to resolve the TNF alpha -308 polymorphism. Statistical analysis for the relative risk of TNF alpha -308 polymorphism was compared by the chi(2) test. Results There were significant differences in the distribution of the polymorphism between the POAG patients and the control subjects (P = 0.00016; P < 0.05) and it was found that the A(-308) allele occurred more frequently in POAG patients (odds ratio: 2.72; 95% confidence interval: 1.66-4.45). Conclusion The results of our study concluded that the distribution of TNF alpha -308 was significantly higher in the POAG patients than in the control group. Therefore, the A(-308) allele appears to be associated with POAG and, therefore, could be used as a genetic marker for disease mapping. POAG is a complex disease, and a single gene could not be responsible. Understanding the role of genetic polymorphisms, like TNF alpha, could be a prediction of the disease and useful for developing new treatments for POAG.
