Cytokine gene polymorphisms in preterm infants with necrotising enterocolitis: genetic association study [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND The inflammatory cytokine cascade is implicated in the pathogenesis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Genetic association studies of cytokine polymorphisms may help to detect molecular mechanisms that are causally related to the disease ...

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2021 Previous studies have reported that T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) 574T>G and 1516G>T are associated with the risk of asthma. However, the results are inconsistent due to the small sample size and varied age in studies.

Why do Individuals Differ in Viral Susceptibility? A Story Told by Model Organisms
Viruses, 2017 Viral susceptibility and disease progression is determined by host genetic variation that underlies individual differences. Genetic polymorphisms that affect the phenotype upon infection have been well-studied for only a few viruses, such as HIV-1 and ...
