Abstract excerpt
TAP1 and TAP2 genes encode heterodimeric molecule involved in endogenous antigen processing. The present study was undertaken to find out the possible association between TAP1 and TAP2 polymorphisms and risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. Polymorphisms of TAP1 (rs1057141, rs1135216) and TAP2 (rs2228396, rs241447, rs67511411, ) were determined in 173 PTB patients and...
