Abstract excerpt
Background: Nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2), encoded by NFE2L2, functions as a key transcription factor and regulates expression of antioxidant genes. Our study aimed to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of NFE2L2 with tuberculosis (TB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and the underlying causal mechanisms. Methods: 1950 unrelated Chinese...
