DEFB1 gene polymorphisms and tuberculosis in a Northeastern Brazilian population
β-Defensin-1, an antimicrobial peptide encoded by the DEFB1 gene, is known to play an important role in lung mucosal immunity. In our association study we analyzed three DEFB1 functional polymorphisms −52G>A (rs1799946), −44C>G (rs1800972) and −20G>A (rs11362) in 92 tuberculosis patients an...
