Abstract

We could not demonstrate an increased risk of ATDH related to the presence of slow NAT2 polymorphisms among this Caucasian TB cohort. However, we found a significantly greater frequency of slow and a significantly lower frequency of intermediate NAT2 genotypes among the ATDH cases compared with the healthy control population.
