Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship of chemokines CXCL10-135G/A and CXCL12 -801G/A gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to tuberculosis. Methods CXCL10-135G/A and CXCL12-801G/A polymorphisms of 102 tuberculosis patients(case group)and 115 healthy controls(control group)were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and the relationship between the two polymorphisms and susceptibility to tuberculosis were analyzed. Results The genotype analysis of CXCL10-135G/A and CXCL12-801G/A was in accord with the law of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the case group and the control group. The differences of genotype and allele distribution frequency of CXCL10-135G/A were statistically significant between the case group and the control group(all P<0.05).The frequency of G allele distribution was higher in the case group than that in the control group, and the frequency of A allele distribution was lower than that in the control group.There were no significant differences in genotype and allele distribution frequency of CXCL12-801G/A polymorphism between the case group and the control group (all P>0.05).Conclusion Chemokine CXCL10-135G/A gene polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis,and CXCL12-801G/A gene polymorphism may not be associated with tuberculosis infection.
