The results showed that KIR2DS2 is associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis; HLA‐B*08 is a protective factor against the onset of tuberculosis; not carrying KIR2DL3 and carrying HLA‐C*07 are related to the antituberculosis ability of HIV‐infected patients; and the increased risk of IRIS is associated with carrying the KIR2DS2 gene, the HLA‐B*41 allele and the KIR2DS1 + HLAC2 gene pair and with not carrying the KIR2DL3 + HLA‐C1/C2 gene pair and KIR2DL1 + HLA‐C1/C2 gene pair.85 Here, KIR2DL1 is linked to tuberculosis.
