Inconsistency in risk estimates across populations lead us to hypothesize about the presence of an alternative causal locus in the same chromosomal region. A suitable approach is to determine the tumor necrosis factor haplotypic structure in order to clarify whether the association between the *A allele and the increased risk of gastric carcinoma is etiologic or secondary to linkage disequilibrium. Firstly, we assessed the association between the TNFA-308G&amp;gt;A polymorphism and the risk of gastric carcinoma in a population from Northern Portugal (508 gastric carcinoma patients, 713 controls); secondly, we genotyped five microsatellite loci (TNFa, b, c, d, e) flanking the TNFA-308G&amp;gt;A locus to establish the haplotypic structure associated with this single-nucleotide polymorphism in cases (122 patients) and controls (169 individuals). We found a significant association between the *A allele and increased risk of gastric carcinoma (odds ratio, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-2.2) confirming previous results in our population. Regarding the *A allele\u2013associated haplotypes, the most relevant difference was found for the H1A haplotype present in 33.1% of the cases and 12.5% of the controls. We also observed haplotypes associated with the *A allele that were found only in cases or controls. A population differentiation test showed that the gastric carcinoma and the control groups were significantly different for the *A allele haplotypic structure. This suggests that the association between the TNFA-308G&amp;gt;A polymorphism and increased risk of gastric carcinoma is dependent on linkage disequilibrium with an as yet unidentified locus.
