Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in Toll-like receptor 4, TLR4 896 A/G (Asp299Gly) and 1196 C/T (Thr399Ile) have been reported to influence TLR4 function and the innate host immune response to mycobacteria. We investigated the effect of these single nucleotide polymorphisms on susceptibility and severity of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in the Asian Indian population. A significantly increased frequency of TLR4 Asp299Gly...
