title: [Polymorphisms of tumor necrosis factor genes in sporadic and hereditary breast cancer].
abstract: A first attempt at investigating polymorphism of microsatellite TNFa and SNP-308 (G/A) in promoter of TNFalpha was made in patients with sporadic and hereditary breast cancer. 308 (A) TNFalpha and TNFa 12 alleles frequencies were significantly higher while that of TNFa10--significantly lower in the hereditary cancer group as compared with donors as well as sporadic cancer patients. That was contributed by cases of infiltrative-lobular tumors. Conversely, because of infiltrative-ductal tumors fraction, TNFa 7 allele frequency in sporadic cancer group was significantly higher than in donors and hereditary breast cancer patients. It was suggested that polymorphism of 308 (G/A) TNFalpha and TNFa depended, first of all, on patterns of breast and, secondly, on the elevated TNFalpha expression as a factor of pathogenesis of hereditary breast cancer.
