Abstract excerpt
SETTING: Mannose binding protein gene polymorphism in pulmonary tuberculosis in India. OBJECTIVE: To find out whether non-HLA genes such as mannose binding protein (MBP) genes are associated in the susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis. DESIGN: Genotyping of MBP 52, 54 and 57 wild and mutant alleles was carried out in HLA-DR typed pulmonary tuberculosis patients (n = 202) and control subjects (n = 109). Since...
