We found that the T allele of rs2476601 and the A allele of rs33996649within <i>PTPN22</i> gene, interaction between rs2476601 and T2DM were all associated with increased PTB risk.
R620W functional polymorphism of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 is not associated with pulmonary tuberculosis in Zahedan, southeast Iran.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of two functional missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PTPN22 gene region (R620W and R263Q) in the susceptibility to TB in the Moroccan population.
