Table 3 Estimated frequencies of IL1B, TNF and IL6 two-locus (SNP) haplotypes in patients with prosthetic joint infection after total joint arthroplasty (TJA with PJI), those without infection (TJA without PJI) and Czech healthy controls. Data are given as proportions (relative numbers) of each possible haplotype

From: Variation in the IL1B, TNF and IL6 genes and individual susceptibility to prosthetic joint infection
