Abstract

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.
