Abstract excerpt
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating a deeper understanding of genetic factors influencing susceptibility. This study investigates the association between five specific polymorphisms in the nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) genes (rs7215373, rs2297518, rs2274894, rs1800482, and rs9282799) and the risk of developing PTB. Methods: Utilizing a...
