Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: Genetic polymorphism of the toll-like receptor 2, 4 (TLR2, TLR4) and natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) genes may affect host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and lead to the variation of susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) in humans. However, the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in these genes and the susceptibility to TB in Mongolian...
