Association between IRGM polymorphisms and tuberculosis risk: A meta-analysis.

Medicine - 1 Oct 2017

Xie Haojun, Li Chufang, Zhang Mincong, Zhong Nanshan, Chen Ling

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human immunity-related GTPase M (IRGM) is involved in regulating autophagy against invading pathogens. Recently, inconsistent results have been reported about the association between IRGM polymorphisms and tuberculosis risk in several studies. METHODS: We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Knowledge, and extracted data from eligible articles to estimate the associations between IRGM...
