Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease, and the present study aims to explore the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at rs1135216 and rs1057141 of transporter-associated antigen processing (TAP1) and rs2228396 of TAP2 with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk. A case-control study including 168 smear-positive PTB cases and 251 controls was conducted. Genotyping of the SNPs at rs1135216,...
