Our analyses of genes of the NAD(P)H oxidase, p47 (NCF1), p67phox (NCF2), p40phox (NCF4), p22phox (CYBA), and gp91phox (CYBB), as well as other genes involved in innate immunity such as DUOX1 and 2, TLR2, TLR9 and AAT demonstrated that there were no differences between the control and lung disease group comprised of primarily sarcoidosis and tuberculosis individuals. This evidence concerns the gene NCF4 and lung disorder.
