Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IRGM are reported to affect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) degradation pathway. Here, we aim to screen promoter-region regulatory SNPs of IRGM in Pakistani population. DNA extracted from blood of cohort containing 70 TB patients (TB) and 30 controls subjects (Ctrl), was amplified for IRGM promoter region, followed by DNA sequencing. Group-specific variations were found...
