Malnutrition is frequently related to the increased level of proinflammatory cytokines. In turn, ongoing inflammation is associated with increased catabolism of skeletal muscle and lipolysis. Tumor necrosis factor \u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a pivotal role in the development of malnutrition and cachexia in cancer patients. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) \u2212610 T &gt; G (rs4149570) of the TNFRSF1A gene and the occurrence of nutritional disorders in patients subjected to RT due to HNC. Methods: The study group consisted of 77 patients with HNC treated at the Oncology Department of the Medical University in Lublin. Genotyping of the TNFRSF1A gene was performed using capillary electrophoresis (Genetic Analyzer 3500). Results: Multivariable analysis revealed that the TT genotype of the TNFRSF1A gene (\u2212610 T &gt; G) was an independent predictor of severe malnutrition (odds ratio\u2014OR = 5.05; p = 0.0350). Moreover, the TT genotype of this gene was independently related to a higher risk of critical weight loss (CWL) (OR = 24.85; p = 0.0009). Conclusions: SNP (\u2212610 T &gt; G) of the TNFRSF1A may be a useful marker in the assessment of the risk of nutritional deficiencies in HNC patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers14143407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]],"date-time":"2022-07-13T22:06:00Z","timestamp":1657749960000},"page":"3407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["TNFRSF1A Gene Polymorphism (\u2212610 T &gt; G, rs4149570) as a Predictor of Malnutrition and a Prognostic Factor in Patients Subjected to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Due to Head and Neck Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Iwona","family":"Homa-Mlak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska 11 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rados\u0142aw","family":"Mlak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska 11 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4040-0450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Mazurek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska 11 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Brzozowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Radiotherapy, Center of Oncology of the Lublin Region St. John of Dukla, Jaczewskiego 7 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9174-8548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Powr\u00f3zek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska 11 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5622-7330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mansur","family":"Rahnama-Hezavah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Dental Surgery, Medical University of Lublin, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Ma\u0142ecka-Massalska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska 11 St., 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1097\/CCO.0000000000000629","article-title":"Epidemiology of head and neck cancers: An update","volume":"32","year":"2020","journal-title":"Curr.
