Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) constitute a heterogeneous group of clonal hematological diseases. Previous investigations reported that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms were associated with MDS susceptibility, but the results remained controversial. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to higher elucidate the correlation between TNF-α gene polymorphisms and MDS susceptibility. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wan Fang databases were searched for eligible literatures published up to July 2021. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to evaluate the strength of association. RESULTS Eight studies involving 1180 MDS patients and 1387 controls were included in this meta-analysis. For the TNF-α G308A polymorphism, we confirmed that the G allele (G versus A: P = 0.001), GG genotypes (GG versus GA: P = 0.005; GG versus GA + AA: P = 0.002), and GG + AA genotypes (GG + AA versus GA: P = 0.008) was significantly associated with decreased MDS susceptibility according to different genetic models. Furthermore, the G308A polymorphism was significantly correlated with decreased occurrence risk of MDS in the Caucasian population as compared with Asians in the above four genetic models (P < 0.05). However, no significant association was observed between the TNF-α G238A polymorphism and MDS risk. CONCLUSION This research showed that TNF-α G308A polymorphism might be a potential biomarker in early clinical screening of MDS, which would contribute to improving the individualized prevention of MDS patients in clinic.

Abstract
Information on polymorphisms, mutations, and epigenetic events has become increasingly important in our understanding of molecular mechanisms associated with exposures-disease outcomes. Molecular landscapes can be developed to illustrate the molecular characteristics for environmental carcinogens as well as associated disease outcomes, although comparison of these molecular landscapes can often be difficult to navigate. We developed a method to organize these molecular data that uses a weight-of-evidence approach to rank overlapping molecular events by relative importance for susceptibility to an exposure-disease paradigm. To illustrate the usefulness of this approach, we discuss the example of benzene as an environmental carcinogen and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as a causative disease endpoint. Using this weight-of-evidence method, we found overlapping polymorphisms in the genes for the metabolic enzymes GST and NQO1, both of which may infer risk of benzene-induced MDS. Polymorphisms in the tumor suppressor gene, TP53, and the inflammatory cytokine gene, TNF-α, were also noted, albeit inferring opposing outcomes. The alleles identified in the DNA repair gene RAD51 indicated an increased risk for MDS in MDS patients and low blood cell counts in benzene-exposed workers. We propose the weight-of-evidence approach as a tool to assist in organizing the sea of emerging molecular data in exposure-disease paradigms.

Abstract
The influence of the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism on bone marrow failure syndrome susceptibility is unclear. We have conducted a meta-analysis of all relevant published studies. We searched PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Literature and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to February 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to assess the strength of associations. Eleven case-control studies with a total sample size of 909 cases and 1803 controls were eligible to assess the association between the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism and susceptibility to bone marrow failure syndrome. Overall, the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of bone marrow failure syndrome in any genetic model. In stratified analysis by disease type, there was a significant association between the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism and increased risk of aplastic anemia but no significant association with myelodysplastic syndrome (AA vs. GG: OR=2.23, 95% CI=1.23-4.05, P=0.006; recessive model: OR=3.52, 95% CI=1.30-9.53, P=0.010). In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, there were significant associations between the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism and increased risk of bone marrow failure syndrome for Caucasians in two models, but not in Asian populations (AA vs. GG: OR=2.66, 95% CI=1.36-5.21, P=0.003; recessive model: OR=2.68, 95% CI=1.37-5.24, P=0.002). In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggests that the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism may contribute to the risk of bone marrow failure syndrome, particularly among Caucasian and aplastic anemia patients. Further investigations are needed to clarify the role of the TNF-α -308 G>A polymorphism in bone marrow failure syndrome.
