tailieunhanh - Toll-like receptor 2 gene polymorphisms, pulmonary tuberculosis, and natural killer cell counts

We newly identified an association between the haplotype [A-G-(insertion)-T] and susceptibility to pulmonary TB (p = , false discovery rate q = ). TB patients with systemic symptoms had a lower -196 to -174 deletion/deletion genotype frequency than those without systemic symptoms ( vs. ; p = ). TB patients with the deletion/deletion genotype had higher blood NK cell counts than those carrying the insertion allele (526 vs. cells/μl, p = ). TB patients with pleuritis had a higher 1350 CC genotype frequency than those without pleuritis ( vs. ; p = ). TB patients with the 1350 CC genotype had higher blood NK cell. | Chen et al.

Methods A total of 368 subjects including 184 patients with pulmonary TB and 184 healthy controls were examined for TLR2 polymorphisms over locus -100 microsatellite guanine-thymine repeats -16934 T A -15607 A G -196 to -174 insertion deletion and 1350 T C . Eighty-six TB patients were examined to determine the peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations. Results We newly identified an association between the haplotype A-G- insertion -T and susceptibility to pulmonary TB p false discovery rate q . TB patients with systemic symptoms had a lower -196 to -174 deletion deletion genotype frequency than those without systemic symptoms vs. p . TB patients with the deletion deletion genotype had higher blood NK cell counts than those carrying the insertion allele 526 vs. cells gl p . TB patients with pleuritis had a higher 1350 CC genotype frequency than those without pleuritis vs. p . TB patients with the 1350 CC genotype had higher blood NK cell counts than those carrying the T allele 641 vs. 250 cells gl p . TB patients carrying homozygous short alleles for GT repeats had higher blood NK cell counts than those carrying one or no short allele 641 vs. 250 cells gl p . Conclusions TLR2 genetic polymorphisms influence susceptibility to pulmonary TB. TLR2 variants play a role in the development of TB phenotypes probably by controlling the .
