The allelic distribution of -308 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha gene polymorphism in South African women with cervical cancer and control women

Table 2 Distribution (%) of -308 TNF-α genotypes in women with cervical cancer among different population groups.

Genotype	*South African n = 244 n (%)	⁺Korea (South) n = 51 n (%)	^†USA n = 127 n (%)	^§Zimbabwe n = 103 n (%)
GG	174 (71)	46 (90)	91 (72)	74 (72)
AG	62 (26)	3 (6)	27 (21)	28 (27)
AA	8 (3)	2 (4)	9 (7)	1 (1)

*Combined Black and mixed race cancer case groups in this study (There were no differences in the distribution of the -308 TNF-α alleles between the two South African ethnic populations, thus the data was combined to compare genotype distributions to other population groups).
