Rs5743708

This SNP affects the risk of developing tuberculosis. 

The AA genotype was found to be more significantly associated with tuberculosis. Allele frequencies for guanine (G) and A were found to be 0.95 and 0.05 in the control group and 0.86 and 0.14 in the TB patient group, respectively. The risk of developing [tuberculosis] was increased 6.04- and 1.60-fold for carriers of the AA and GA genotypes, respectively.

The variant of rs5743708 known as Arg753Gln or R753Q appears to protect against Lyme disease.

Linked to preterm birth rs4696480 (T-16934A and Arg753Gln) and rs5743708) (Thr399Ile) earlier birth for infants carrying (-16934TA/AA and 753ArgGln/GlnGln)
