Tumor necrosis factor-β£ (TNF) is recognized as a central mediator of mineral dust-induced lung fibrosis, and genetic polymorphisms of the TNF promoter have been reported to influence levels of TNF production. To assess whether polymorphisms within the TNF promoter gene are associated with susceptibi

To assess the association of polymorphisms at the sulphonylurea receptor (SUR1) gene with the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, 456 subjects, 236 with Type 2 diabetes and 220 non-diabetic controls, were analysed for variants at exon 7, exon 22 and intron 24 of the SUR1 gene by the polymerase
## 817 ated with increased risk for AD, at least in the Korean population. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the association between IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphism and AD observed in previous studies might be the result of linkage disequilibrium with a yet unidentified gene on chromosome 2.
