Association between Toll-like receptor 9 gene polymorphisms and risk of bacterial meningitis in a Chinese population
“Association between Toll-like receptor 9 gene polymorphisms and risk of bacterial meningitis in a Chinese population”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, We determined whether two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Toll-like receptor 9 gene (TLR9) (TLR9+2848 rs352140 and TLR9-1237 rs5743836) influenced susceptibility to bacterial meningitis in a Chinese population. The study comprised 126 patients with bacterial meningitis and 252 control subjects, all of whom were recruited from the Tuberculosis Hospital of Shanxi Province.
