Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported the influence of genetic variations on susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). Polymorphism in P2X7 gene coding for P2X7 receptor present on macrophages has been linked to TB in different populations. OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of P2X7 gene -762T/C and -1513A/C polymorphisms in TB susceptibility. DESIGN: In a case-control study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
