Human leukocyte antigen-genotyping according to sex in extrapulmonary tuberculosis patients in Iraq

Conclusion: The association of the HLA-DRB1∗3 and the HLA-DRB1∗7 genotypes with the EPTB was observed in this study, albeit needing more verifications. Furthermore, the HLA-DRB1∗315 was more frequent among healthy subjects. More investigations are also essential to confirm the difference between male and female patients with the EPTB regarding the rate of HLA genotypes.
