Interestingly, Y. Xue et al. studied CMP in tuberculosis (TB) patients and suggested that the S/M genotype [≤GT16 (S allele); GT17 to GT22 (M allele)] of the microsatellite (GT)n polymorphisms in intron 2 of the Toll-like receptor 2 gene may increase the susceptibility to TB in Chinese people [34]. Here, TLR2 is linked to tuberculosis.
