Toll-like receptor 1 polymorphism is associated with impaired immune tolerance, dysregulated inflammatory responses to Borrelia burgdorferi, and heightened risk of post-infectious Lyme arthritis
IntroductionClinical presentation of Lyme disease is largely due to host immune response to infection. Previously, we identified a variant (1805GG) in the TLR1 gene, a key immune sensor for Borrelia burgdorferi, which was associated with excessive infl…
