Abstract excerpt
Some Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukins and other modulatory molecules of the immune response play an important role in susceptibility to infectious diseases, particularly those involving intracellular parasites. In this study, we evaluated allele, genotype and haplotype associations of two SNPs of the TNF-α promoter and seven of the SLC11A1 gene in 79 patients with localized cutaneous...
