Genetic Loci of TNFα Level Regulation in Blood Serum of Women with Uterine Fibroids
The TNFα content in the blood serum of 109 patients with uterine fibroids was studied. Cytokine concentrations ranged from 4.65 to 25.88 pg/ml regardless of the clinical parameters of the disease, but were associated with complex genotypes of different structural and functional organization (TNFA, IL1B, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL17A, VEGFA, MMP2, MMP3, MMP9). The interaction of multiple genes that affect the level of serum TNFα production has been revealed. In particular, on the one hand, the complex genotype TNF-308GG/VEGF-2578CA is positively associated with high levels of TNFα (OR = 10.00, p
