Abstract
Antituberculosisdrug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a common and sometimes serious side effect related to tuberculosis (TB) treatment. A number of risk factors and host genetics contribute to the development of ATDH. However, genetic factors of ATDH remain to be identified. Silent Information Regulator 1 (SIRT1), an essential metabolism gene, was proved to be involved in ATDH in mice. The aim of this investigation was to study the association between ATDH and tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag-SNPs) of the SIRT1 gene in a prospective cohort study in patients with TB.
