  • Title: The effect of mannose binding lectin gene polymorphisms on susceptibility to tuberculosis in different ethnic groups.
    Author: El Sahly HM, Reich RA, Dou SJ, Musser JM, Graviss EA.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2004; 36(2):106-8. PubMed ID: 15061663.
    Abstract:
    In order to investigate the role of MBL gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) we genotyped 487 TB cases and 232 controls. Among African-American individuals, the frequency of B allele was lower among controls than cases (p < 0.01), but we found no differences between cases and controls of white and Hispanic ethnicity.
