Key inflammatory cytokine
Regulates systemic inflammation and immune cell function
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GG (Normal) | Normal | Normal TNF-alpha levels |
| GA (Carrier) | Moderate | Increased TNF-alpha cytokine production. Anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3, polyphenols) and stress management help modulate inflammatory tone. |
| AA (Variant) | High impact | AA genotype, increased TNF-alpha production and chronic low-grade inflammation tendency. Omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin help modulate the inflammatory response. |
