Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays an important role in the pattern recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene influence the function of the receptor. We therefore investigated in a cohort of HIV-infected Tanzanian patients whether the Asp299Gly TLR4 polymorphism is associated with the development of active tuberculosis. We found a greater risk of developing active tuberculosis as well as a reduction in CD4 T-cell counts in patients with the Asp299Gly TLR4 polymorphism.
