CXCL12 gene polymorphisms influence CXCL12 levels and may be associated with the outcome of host-pathogen interaction. Hence, the present study was carried out to find out whether CXCL12 gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility or resistance to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Intron and 3' untranslated region (UTR) polymorphisms of CXCL12 gene were investigated among 184 patients with PTB and 187...
