Although genotype-level differences did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.064–0.512), allele frequency analysis showed that the A allele was more common among cases (5.26%) than controls (0.53%), with the G allele being more frequent in the control group.

Our results demonstrate that the minor A alleles of both polymorphisms were significantly enriched in T2DM patients compared with healthy controls, and these alleles also showed an increasing trend with FBS, which may reach statistical significance in larger patient cohorts.
The A alleles of TNF-α promoter polymorphisms rs1800629 and rs361525 were significantly more frequent in T2DM cases and showed a positive trend with higher fasting glucose, suggesting increased susceptibility to T2DM that may be confirmed in larger cohorts.
