Lack of Association between Toll-Like Receptor 2 Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Severe Disease Caused byStaphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACTTo investigate a putative link between genetically determined variations in Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and the occurrence of severeStaphylococcus aureusinfection, the functional Arg753Gln single-nucleotide polymorphism and the GT repeat microsatellite in the TLR2 gene were examined in a large case-control study. No associations with disease or mortality attributable to these features were found.
