Description
The frequency of the A allele in a SNP located in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (rs1800629) is significantly different in patients with nasal polyposis versus controls without nasal polyposis, 18.6% and 11.5%, respectively with an individuals' odds of susceptibility to nasal polyps increasing almost two-fold (odds ratio, 1.86; confidence interval, 1.4-3.09) given at least one copy of the A allele at this SNP.
