Table 5 shows the combined genotype distribution for both polymorphisms. The heterozygous, homozygous/heterozygous, homozygous state for TLR4 Thr399Ile and TLR9 T-1486C polymorphisms showed a 1.7-fold increased risk of pulmonary TB, with a 95 percent confidence limit of 0.6–4.6 and a P value of 0.23 which was not significant. Moreover, the heterozygous, homozygous/homozygous state for both polymorphisms, respectively, showed 7.5-fold increased risk of pulmonary TB, with a 95 percent confidence limit of 0.84–66.7 and a P value of 0.047 which was slightly significant. Here, TLR9 is linked to pulmonary tuberculosis.
