Polymorphisms in Candidate Genes and Risk of Scarring Trachoma in aChlamydia trachomatis–Endemic Population

1 Nov 2000

Abstract excerpt

Genes involved in regulating antimicrobial immunity and inflammation may modulate the risk of tissue scarring and fibrosis in chlamydial diseases such as trachoma. By use of a large case-control study of scarring trachoma in The Gambia, the importance of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in several candidate genes was investigated. Overall, no significant differences were found between patients and control subjects...
