摘要: Aim: To evaluate whether polymorphisms at -857, -1031, -308 and -238 positions of the TNF-α gene influence response to TNF-α-blocker therapy in Chinese Han patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Patients & methods: A total 106 spondylitis were recruited genotyped for polymorphisms. In total, 32 received infliximab 74 a recombinant human receptor II–IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR–Fc). At end 12 weeks, assessed using Assessment SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 20, 40, 50 70 criteria. Results: Polymorphisms did not affect therapeutic response. The -857 C/C genotype (p = 0.0021) responded better therapy. -1031 T/T 0.0004) showed outcome. Conclusion: patients, are unable predict response; however, T/T...
