R620W functional polymorphism of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 is not associated with pulmonary tuberculosis in Zahedan, southeast Iran

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene, which encodes an intracellular lymphoid-specific phosphatase, is considered an important regulator of T-cell activation. We investigated a possible association between the PTPN22 C1858T (R620W) polymorphism and pulmonary tuberculosis in an Iranian population. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of PTPN22 C1858T (rs2476601) were genotyped in 172 pulmonary tuberculosis cases and 204 normal subjects from Zaheden, Iran. Frequencies of genot… Show more

“…The genomic DNA of the patients and the members of the control group were obtained from peripheral blood leukocytes using the Salting-out method [21] . The genotyping of the +1858C/T PTPN22 gene SNP (rs2476601) was performed using the tetraamplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction technique, which was designed for the detection of PTPN22 R620W (rs2476601) polymorphism [21] .…”

“…Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, in particular, in Asia and Africa [1]. According to the fifth national tuberculosis epidemiological survey in 2010 in China [2], it was estimated that about 5 million new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) occurred in China in 2010.…”
