Abstract excerpt
In this population-based case control study, we recruited 1601 pulmonary tuberculosis cases and 1526 healthy controls, aiming to investigate the association of genetic polymorphisms of the P2X7 gene with the susceptibility to and prognosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in a Chinese Han population. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P2X7 gene were genotyped. The odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR)...
