Abstract excerpt
TLR2 and TLR4 genetic variation has been investigated among the Saudis with the aim of gaining further insight into the evolutionary history of the Arabian Peninsula. Two polymorphisms located in the TLR2 gene (Pro631His and Arg753Gln, rs5743704 and rs5743708, respectively), and two (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile, rs4986790 and rs4986791, respectively), located in the TLR4 gene have been genotyped in 201 unrelated...
