aOdds ratios were adjusted by skin color, education, site of tuberculosis, HIV transmission route, and CD8 count. bP-values were calculated using the unconditional logistic regression model. Associations were considered significant with a value of P < 0.05. N, number of individuals in each group; TB, tuberculosis; PLWH, people living with HIV; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; Ref, Reference; PTB, Pulmonary TB; EPTB, Extrapulmonary TB, A, T, G, and C = each allele count, irrespective of the genotype. Carrier-A = total of genotypes with the A allele, Carrier-T = total of genotypes with T allele, Carrier-C = total of genotypes with the C allele, Carrier-G = total of genotypes with the G allele, Non-Carrier-A = total of genotypes without the A allele, Non-Carrier-T = total of genotypes without the T allele, Non-Carrier-C = total of genotypes without the C allele, Non-Carrier-G = total of genotypes without the G allele. Bold indicate statistically significant results.
