The response of various cytokines to stressful stimuli have been shown to be partly due to interindividual variation at a genetic level.2 The possibility that genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to CLD has been reported.3,4 We decided to investigate whether gene polymorphisms for tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα-308 G/A) and interleukin … ER -
