PG - 860-863 LID - 10.29271/jcpsp.2022.07.860 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To analyse relationship between tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (G308A) polymorphism and Vascular Parkinson (VP) complicated with pulmonary infection. STUDY DESIGN: Analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Zhuji people's Hospital, China, from February 2017 to April 2021. METHODOLOGY: Eighty five patients with VP complicated with pulmonary infection were included in the observation group. Eighty five patients with VP were included in the comparison group. Genotypic analysis of TNF-alpha (G308A) and serum TNF-alpha were detected. RESULTS: TNF-alpha (G308A) polymorphism in both the observation group and control group conformed to the genetic balance rule by the Hardy-Weinberg test. The frequency of each gene satisfied the genetic balance (p=0.175, and p=0.184, respectively). Genotype distribution and alleles of TNF-alpha (G308A) between the observation group and the control group were different (both p <0.001). Compared with control group, serum TNF-alpha level in the observation group was higher (p <0.001). In the observation group, serum TNF-alpha level in cases with GA+AA genotype (carrying A allele) was higher than that in cases with GG genotype (non A allele) (p <0.001). CONCLUSION: TNF-alpha (G308A) polymorphism is associated with VP complicated with pulmonary infection. VP Patients with TNF-alpha (G308A) AA genotype and an allele may have a high risk of pulmonary infection.
