Clinical Study

Polymorphisms in Tumour Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF ) Gene in Patients with Acute Pancreatitis

Table 2

Genotype frequencies of TNFα among cases and controls and the association with AP risk. ORs with 95% CI and P-values were calculated for wild/wild genotype versus wild/mutant and mutant/mutant genotypes.
