Abstract
Abstract:
Background:Gliomas are the most prevalent primary tumors of the brain and spinal cord which represent about 33 percent of all brain tumors. This study was designed to detect the association between TNF gene and gliomas among Sudanese patients.
Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive cross sectional study, conducted at the research laboratory of the National Center for Neurological Sciences(NCNS), Khartoum, Sudan during the period from June to September 2022. Demographical data (gender, age, residence, histology and WHO grading). DNA extraction was done from tissue of all operated patients with gliomas tumors. PCR for TNF was done and thus Sanger sequencing.
Results: The PCR results showed positive PCR for TNF gene in all samples. And sequencing result showed base bare exchange in TNF gene C to T polymorphism.
Conclusion:TNF gene polymorphism was detected and might be associated with gliomas tumors among Sudanese patients.
