Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder resulting from insulin insufficiency or function. Predisposing factors for T2DM are mainly genetic and environmental. Genetic polymorphism of cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is suggestive of interference with insulin-sensitive glucose uptake and induces insulin resistance that ultimately could lead to T2DM. In this study, we assessed the effect of TNF-alpha (-308) G/A gene polymorphism and its association with the development of T2DM in an Ethiopian population.Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on study subjects with T2DM and non-diabetic healthy controls. DNA was extracted and genotyping was carried out by using amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. A genetic-polymorphism on TNF-alpha (-308) G/A with T2DM was evaluated by logistic regression and Student's t-test. A P-value
