Abstract excerpt
Introduction: TLR7 detects the presence of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses, including human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1), and triggers antiviral and inflammatory responses that are responsible for infection control. Genetic variations in the TLR7 gene may alter cytokine production and influence the course of HTLV-1 infection. In the present study, the associations of TLR7 gene polymorphisms with...
