Association of MBL2 Codon 34 Variant of Exon 1 with Severity of Tuberculosis in Paediatric Population of South Africa

2026-08-22

Abstract excerpt

The host genetic factors contribute to determining the susceptibility of an individual to an infectious disease and this forms the basis of this study. Many gene polymorphisms have been implicated in disease development and progression.In this study, a genotypic case-control study was carried out to determine the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in MBL2 on tuberculosis on paediatrics drawn mainly from the...
