Background: It has been reported that one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs5743708 in TLR2 gene might be associated with the susceptibility to tuberculosis disease. Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to systematically summarize and clarify the association between the rs5743708 gene polymorphism in the TLR2 gene and the risk of tuberculosis disease.

Methods: A systematic search of studies on the association of the rs5743708 gene polymorphism in the TLR2 gene with susceptibility to tuberculosis disease was conducted in PubMed.
