Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate differences in SNPs in TLR genes between people who had keratitis and controls in an Indian population. METHODS: 145 cases of keratitis and 189 matched controls were recruited. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in TLR2 (n = 6), TLR4 (n = 15), TLR5 (n = 13) and TLR9 (n = 10) were analysed. The risk of developing keratitis was assessed based on...
