Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The extent to which individuals exhibit genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) is still unclear. Genetic variations in chemokine genes might influence the early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, affecting TB susceptibility. OBJECTIVES: To study single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of chemokine genes CCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, and their association with TB susceptibility. DESIGN: Of...
