Susceptibility to and severity of tuberculosis is genetically controlled by human leukocyte antigens.

Saudi medical journal - 1 Nov 2008

Harfouch-Hammoud Elham I, Daher Nizar A

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of HLA polymorphism in the susceptibility to tuberculosis in Syria. METHODS: We used the polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primer method to study the DRB1* locus in 147 Syrian patients with positive sputum smear or sputum culture for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis strains, and 209 Syrian healthy matching individuals with negative tuberculin skin test. Patients were...
