Abstract：Objective To investigate the joint action of CXCL16 G1850A and TNF-α T1031C genes polymorphisms in patients with atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods CXCL16 gene, G1850A and TNF-α gene T1031C mononucleotide polymorphism were tested with polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 120 ACI patients and 75 healthy controls. Results The CXCL16 gene 1850 site AA genotype (35.8% vs 20.0%), A allele frequency (59.6% vs 44.0%), the TNF-αgene 1031 site CC genotype(2.5% vs 1.3%), C allele frequency(21.3% vs 11.3%)in ACI group were significantly higher than in the control group(P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the joint action of CXCL16 G1850A and TNF-α T1031C genes polymorphisms and ACI (χ2= 7.502,df = 2,P = 0.023). Conclusion The CXCL16 gene 1850, A allele and TNF-α gene 1031 C allele were risk factors for ACI. There is a positive correlation between the joint action of CXCL16 G1850A and TNF-α T1031C genes polymorphisms on ACI.
