[Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 gene polymorphism and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expression in Chongqing Han children with tuberculosis].

Abstract

These findings suggest that persons bearing the MCP-1 genotype GG produce high concentrations of MCP-1, which increases the risk of active TB infection in Chongqing Han people. These findings are more significant in child patients than in adult patients with TB.
