Functional variations of the TLR4 gene in association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) share a number of common risk factors, including innate immunity-related genetic factors. In the present study, we compared the role of genetic variations of the TLR4 gene in susceptibility to COPD and P...
