The tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNF-RII, CD120b, TNF-R p75/80) gene has recently been characterised. It is located on chromosome 1p362 and consists of 10 exons and 9 introns A number of biallelic polymorphisms have been found in exons 4, 6, 9 and 10 based on differences between published sequences. In this study we have used polymerase chain reaction methodology in association with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) incorporating mismatches at the 3' end to identify these polymorphisms. We were able to confirm the presence of a single biallelic polymorphism in exon 6 corresponding to a (T/G) at nucleotide 676 of TNF-RII mRNA (gb:M32315) which results in an amino acid change and three biallelic polymorphisms in exon 10 (in the3'UTR) corresponding to (A/G) at nucleotide 1663, (T/G) at nucleotide 1668 and a (C/T) at nucleotide 1690 of gb:M32315, whereas no polymorphisms were observed in exons 4 and 9. Here we report that in 192 unrelated UK Caucasian individuals the allele frequencies determined by direct counting were: 676-T (0.77), 1663-G (0.51), 1668-T (0.95), and 1690-T (0.64) and the calculated gene frequencies were; 676-T (0.52), 676-G (0.12); 1663-G (0.30), 1663-A (0.28); 1668-T (0.77), 1668-G (0.025); and 1690-T (0.40), 1690-C (0.20). Furthermore, the presence of an A allele at nucleotide position 1663 was found to be strongly associated with the presence of a C allele at nucleotide position 1690 and a G allele at nucleotide position 1668 whereas the presence of a G allele at position 1663 was associated with the absence of a C allele at nucleotide position 1690.
