Cytokine gene polymorphism in human disease: on-line databases, Supplement 3

Within the past few years, the focus on cytokine single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) function and association with human diseases has increased considerably. This third supplement to the Cytokine Gene Polymorphism in Human Disease: On-line database describes the positive associations of cytokine SNPs in human diseases described in articles published from 2002 up to 2005. A file containing a list of all SNPs investigated in this period of time and their association with human disease or expression pattern can be downloaded from the internet address http://www.nanea.dk/cytokinesnps/. The web pages also contain other features and downloads that could be useful when planning cytokine SNP association studies.
