Association between microsatellite polymorphisms in intron II of the human Toll-like receptor 2 gene and nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in a Korean population.

Abstract excerpt

This study evaluated the association between the guanine-thymine (GT) repeat polymorphism in intron II of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene and lung disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Polymerase chain reaction and gene scans were used to determine the numbers of GT repeats for 193 patients with the nodular bronchiectatic form of NTM lung disease, including 110 patients with Mycobacterium...
