Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains a significant global health issue, with genetic factors playing a crucial role in susceptibility. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) C5orf64 has been implicated in immune responses and cancer, but its association with PTB risk has not been fully explored. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of 955 participants (474 PTB cases and 481 controls)....
