Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Abundant studies have suggested that TLR2 genetic variants involve in susceptibility to TB infection. We tried to verified the hypothesis that TLR2 genetic loci effect on the susceptibility to TB in the Western Chinese population. METHODS: A total 1109 individuals (634 TB patients and 475 healthy controls) were genotyped for rs3804099, rs3804100 and rs76112010 by using a custom-by-design 2x48-Plex SNP...
