Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and accumulated evidence reveals the genetic context of its infection phenotypes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) rs1024611 variant is shown to be associated with PTB susceptibility in some studies, but significant disparities exist. In addition, telomerase plays a key role in .. Read More»

Recent studies have shown that 5p15.33 is one of the chromosomal regions that is most consistently altered in lung cancer; common variants that are located in this region have been genotyped in various populations. However, the genetic contribution of these variants to carcinogenesis is relatively unknown. A clinic-based case-control study in Shanghai was undertaken.. Read More»
