title: TNF 308 G/A polymorphism and type 1 diabetes: a meta-analysis.
abstract: We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the association between TNF 308 G/A polymorphism and risk for T1DM. Eleven reports were identified. Our study confirmed that a higher frequency of TNF 308 A allele conferred a significant risk for T1DM. Potential explanations were discussed.
