Background: Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease and functional studies have provided evidence that both the chemokine MIP-1α and its receptor CCR5 play a role in susceptibility to TB. Thus by measuring copy number variation of CCL3L1, one of t... Read More about CCL3L1 copy number, CCR5 genotype and susceptibility to tuberculosis.
