Serum levels for CRP, ferritin, IL-6, IP-10, SAA1/A2, and S100A12 were significantly higher in the TB group (p<0 · 0001, p = 0 · 0325, p = 0 · 0006, p = 0 · 01, p<0 · 0001, and p<0 · 0001, respectively), but no significant difference was found for ApoA1 (p = 0 · 3244). The gene discussed is SAA1; the disease is tuberculosis.
