Abstract excerpt
The objective of the study is to explore the possible association of the monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1-362G/C genetic polymorphism and plasma levels of MCP-1 in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB). The MCP-1-362G/C (rs2857656) polymorphism and blood levels of MCP-1 in patients with spinal TB and healthy subjects were evaluated and compared. Three hundred thirty-two patients and 336 healthy subjects...
