Clinical course of respiratory tuberculosis relapses in the Kazakh population depending on HLA-DRB1 gene alleles.

The study aimed to ascertain the prevalence and frequency of relapses of respiratory tuberculosis (TB) and examine the characteristics of its clinical progression in members of the Kazakh population based on the alleles of the HLA-DRB1 gene. Methods of clinical and genetic research, statistical processing and analysis of the obtained data were used to achieve this goal. The research led to an analysis of the statistical processing of clinical and genetic investigations that found out how often TB in the respiratory tract is found and how different HLA-DRB1 gene alleles affect the disease's progression.
