Association between the SP110 rs9061 SNP and the TNF levels in plasma of LTBI subjects. The TNF production was determined in plasma samples from LTBI cases carrying the different genotypes of the rs9061 SNP by a MAGPIX instrument with a MILLIPLEX MAP Human Cytokine/Chemokine Magnetic Bead Panel I kit. Sample numbers are 14 for “GG” and 8 for “GA” genotypes, respectively. Statistical significance was calculated using a two-tailed unpaired -test. .
