Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of the +874 A/T and +875 CA microsatellite single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the interferon-gamma gene (IFNG) on patients with tuberculosis (TB) in the southeastern Chinese population. Genomic DNA from patients with TB (n = 301) and ethnically matched controls (n = 310) was genotyped for the two SNPs by DNA sequencing and short tandem repeat-polymerase...
