Core Tip |
Our data demonstrated that genotypes GT, GG, and GT + GG at rs2295080; genotypes CT and CT + TT at rs2024627; genotypes CT, CC and CT + CC at rs1057079; and genotypes CT and CT + CC at rs7525957 of mTOR gene are associated with statistically increased risk of tuberculosis in a Chinese population. In addition, there was a negative interaction between each of the four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and tea drinking. These findings may be helpful for identifying high-risk populations of tuberculosis, and suggest that promoting tea drinking might be a new way to reduce the risk of tuberculosis for individuals with mutations in the four SNPs. |
