Abstract excerpt
AIM: Interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines promote the host defence against mycobacterial infections. We have previously shown an association between IL17A variations and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) osteitis. This paper evaluates the association of three IL17F polymorphisms with BCG osteitis after newborn vaccination. METHODS: IL17F rs763780, rs11465553 and rs7741835 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
