Abstract excerpt
Host genetics are important to consider in the role of resistance or susceptibility for developing active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Several association studies have reported the role of variants in STAT4 and TRAF1/C5 as risk factors to autoimmune diseases. Nevertheless, more data is needed to elucidate the role of these gene variants in infectious disease. Our data reports for the first time, variant...
