From: Genetic association meta-analysis: a new classification to assess ethnicity using the association of MCP-1 -2518 polymorphism and tuberculosis susceptibility as a model

Fig. 3

G allele MCP-1 -2518 polymorphism distribution in study populations and incidence of pulmonary TB (2010). a shows the frequency of G allele among ethnic countries. G allele is more frequent in individuals with pulmonary TB from East Asian and Latin American ethnic countries (* = P <0.01) and there is no difference within African subgroups, Persia and South Asia. b shows the ethnic countries considered in our new ethnic classification. c The chart shows the incidence of tuberculosis in the groups studied found at http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.TBS.INCD. (this incidence includes HIV cases)
