Association Study of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type 2 M196R and Toll-Like Receptor 2 Arg753Gln Polymorphisms with Acne Vulgaris in a Chinese Han Ethnic Group

Abstract

The 196R allele of TNFR2 M196R as well as the 753Gln allele of TLR2 Arg753Gln are risk factors for acne vulgaris in Chinese Han patients, further supporting the contribution of inflammatory cytokines to the pathogenesis of acne.
