Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to estimate the association of ficolin-1 (FCN1) gene (rs10120023, rs1071583) and ficolin-3 (FCN3) gene (rs3813800, rs10794501) polymorphisms and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) susceptibility, as well as their several clinical features, in a Chinese population. METHODS: This study included a cohort of 489 PTB patients and 489 healthy controls, and the four SNPs were genotyped by...
