Core Tip Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a proinflammatory and antiviral cytokine that plays a major role in liver injury and initiation of the fibrosis process. We investigated the association of TNFα -G308A polymorphism with liver pathological changes in treatment-na?ve Egyptian patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4. The results showed that the TNFα A allele produced high circulating TNFα in the body, which induces inflammatory response. The TNFα A allele was an independent risk factor for liver inflammation, steatosis and fibrosis. TNFα -G308A represents an important genetic marker that can be used for the prognosis of different liver pathological changes in HCV infected patients.
