TNF haplotypes in a Southern African population resemble those seen in Caucasians and Asians

Haplotypes spanning the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene block in the central major histocompatibility complex were defined in a Southern African population using 31 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Twenty haplotypes accounted for 91.8% of the cohort. The haplotypes matched those described previousl...

description Haplotypes spanning the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene block in the central major histocompatibility complex were defined in a Southern African population using 31 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Twenty haplotypes accounted for 91.8% of the cohort. The haplotypes matched those described previously in Caucasian and Asian populations, supporting the hypothesis that TNF block haplotypes are ancient and highly conserved. They are presented here as a tool for disease-association studies. © 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
