Analysis of LXRs genotype frequencies demonstrated that the rs3758673 T/T, rs2279238 T/T, rs1449627 G/G, and rs1449626 C/C in LXRA were significantly more common in TB patients than healthy controls (p<0.001, p = 0.014, p<0.001 and p = <0.001, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene NR1H3 and tuberculosis.
