“…In the present study, the SNP rs5743708 was related to protection against disease [26] and susceptibility to rheumatic fever (caused by Gram-positive bacteria) [27], tuberculosis [24], cytomegalovirus [30,50], chronic hepatitis C [51], endocarditis [25] and infection by Staphylococcus [23,45]. No significant associations were found between this SNP and mononucleosis, complicate skin and structured skin infections (cSSSIs), AIDS and neonatal chronic hepatitis [31,38,39,42]. In Staphylococcus infection, the SNP rs5743708 was most commonly found related with a susceptibility role, being the 'A' allele variant predominant in a French population by Lorenz et al 2000, while the wild-type G allele in a study by Żukowski et al, 2017 in a Polish population [23,45].…”
