Our meta-analysis suggests that TNF-α polymorphisms at positions - 238, - 308, - 850, - 1031 and rs769178 could have an influence on ankylosing spondylitis susceptibility in the total population. But there is no association of the TNF-376, TNF-857, TNF-863 polymorphisms with ankylosing spondylitis. Some results in the subgroups are not consistent with those in the total population.
