Joint analysis of phases I and II confirmed our findings, with a highly significant association of rs3774275 with pulmonary tuberculosis (joint analysis OR = 0.61 95%CI = 0.43–086, p = 0.0028; see Table 2 ).
Joint analysis of phases I and II confirmed our findings, with a highly significant association of rs3774275 with pulmonary tuberculosis (joint analysis OR = 0.61 95%CI = 0.43–086, p = 0.0028; see Table 2 ).
Among the remaining 13 common variant candidates, only one SNP (rs3774275; MASP1 ) was nominally significant in phase II ( p = 0.0340, Table 2 ), showing the same direction of effects as in phase I.
In our study, we also observed higher MASP1 levels in the GG-genotype of the control population, but failed to reach statistical significance, probably due to the small sample size for this minor genotype.
