Comparisons of allelic frequencies of MIF −794 CATT alleles (5 + 6 vs 7 + 8) between three TB patient groups and healthy controls.
| Cases | 5 + 6 (%) | 7 + 8 (%) | OR (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total cases of TB | 315 (78.7) | 85 (21.3) | 0.53 (0.33–0.86) | 0.01* |
| New cases | 154 (77.0) | 46 (23.0) | 2.09 (1.23–3.56) | 0.009** |
| Retreatment cases | 161 (80.5) | 39 (19.5) | 0.59 (0.34–1.02) | 0.076 |

| Controls | 175 (87.5) | 25 (12.5) | 1.00 (reference) |
MIF: migration inhibitory factor; TB: tuberculosis; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
The allelic frequencies of MIF −794 CATT alleles (5 + 6 vs 7 + 8) of three TB patient groups were successively compared to that of healthy controls.
