Genetic diversity of TLR2, TLR4, and VDR loci and pulmonary tuberculosis in Moroccan patients by Naima Arji, Marc Busson, Ghali Iraqi, Jamal Eddine Bourkadi, Abdelaziz Benjouad, Abdellatif Bouayad, Christina Mariaselvam, Sofiane Salah, Catherine Fortier, Kahina Amokrane, François Marzais, Wahid Boukouaci, Rajagopal Krishnamoorthy, Dominique Charron, Rajae El Aouad, Ryad Tamouza

“…The VDR [f,b,a,T] haplotype was found to confer protection (pc < 0.00001; OR = 0.18; CI = 0.09 - 0.35), while the TLR2 [-16934T,+597C,+1349T] haplotype seemed to be at risk (p = 0.03; OR = 1.52; CI = 1.01 - 2.30), but  statistical significance was not reached. Finally, cross-analysis between polymorphisms of the three studied genes revealed significant interaction between TLR2 +597 and TLR4 +4434 SNPs towards protection against PTB (pc = 0.036), suggesting that the functionally relevant TLR4 +4434 SNP may act synergistically with TLR2 SNPs. …”
