All individuals were HIV negative. Decreased risk of pulmonary TB was associated with both heterozygosity and homozygosity for the IL1B-511-C allele (OR 0.66, P = 0.027, and OR 0.58, P = 0.015, respectively). Nonetheless, the C allele was present at a frequency of 0.66 in TB cases suggesting that whilst IL-1beta contributes to disease susceptibility, it is not the major factor. There was no association between the IL1B+3953-T/C polymorphism or the 86 bp IL1RN pentallelic repeat and TB in this population. Using an ex-vivo whole blood assay, healthy Gambian individuals who are homozygous for the IL1B-511-T allele failed to exhibit a significant increase in IL-1beta production in response to LPS after IFN-gamma priming.
