PTB: pulmonary tuberculosis; STB: spinal tuberculosis; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; Ref: reference; SNP: single-nucleotide polymorphism; NA: not calculated as zero count in at least one cell of the two by two table. aThe estimated odds ratios (ORs) and relative 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were adjusted for age and gender. and ; the changes were considered as trends. .
