Abstract excerpt
AIMS: A growing number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). However, the results of these studies have been inconclusive. This study evaluated whether the SNPs rs4331426 and rs2057178, identified by GWAS, are associated with TB susceptibility. METHODS: We performed meta-analyses for rs4331426,...
