Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Clerici, M.,2009 Other variant: TNF-alpha_308G/A Our data reported a different genotype and allele distribution of -308 TNF-α and +874 IFN-γ in the bipolar II group that showed a higher percentage of subjects characterized by a lower production of both cytokines. Positive Comment on Study
Yosifova, A.,2009 SNP: rs1800629 No SNP of this gene had significant association with BD in our population. Negative Comment on Study
Meira-Lima, I.,2003(b) Other variant: TNF_-G308A The TNF-a gene variant did not present a significant difference in the allele and genotype distribution between the BPAD and the control groups. Negative Comment on Study
Pae, C. U.,2004(a) Other variant: TNF_-G308A The -G308A TNF-alpha gene polymorphism may confer a risk for BID in the Korean population. Positive Comment on Study
