The Relationship of TLR2 Polymorphisms with Infectious Diseases

Marcos Jessé Abrahão Silva, Marceli Batista Martins Lima, Karla Valéria Batista Lima & Luana Nepomuceno Gondim Costa Lima · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2021

The proinflammatory response induced by Toll-Like receptors (TLR) is considered the host's first defense line. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) correspond to the most frequent type of variation in the human genome, and due to the importance of TLR2 in the immune response, S...
