. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major disease worldwide, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) pathway plays a crucial role in the recognition of MTB. . The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 () gene polymorphisms in TB. . A total of 103 TB cases and 92 control subjects were genotyped for the 938C>A (rs4988453) and 1944C>G (rs4988457) polymorphisms. . The -938CA and -938AA genotypes were associated with an increased risk for tuberculosis with odds ratio (OR) of 5.71 (95% confidence intervals [CIs] 2.89-11.28, = 0.01). . The -938C>A genetic polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to TB and may serve as a marker to screen individuals who are at risk.
结核病(TB)是一种全球性的主要疾病,由结核分枝杆菌(MTB)感染引起。Toll样受体(TLR)途径在MTB的识别中起关键作用。本研究旨在调查髓样分化初级反应蛋白88()基因多态性与结核病的关系。对103例结核病患者和92例对照受试者进行了938C>A(rs4988453)和1944C>G(rs4988457)多态性的基因分型。-938CA和-938AA基因型与结核病风险增加相关,比值比(OR)为5.71(95%置信区间[CIs]2.89-11.28,=0.01)。-938C>A基因多态性与结核病易感性增加相关,可作为筛选高危个体的标志物。
