We suggest that TLR2-196-174Ins/Del and TLR6-S249P could be protective factors of females against BD. However, TLR2-R677W and TLR1-R80T could be strongly associated with higher risk of BD. Interestingly, TLR2-R677W could be a genetic marker for BD in females. However, further studies with larger groups are needed to confirm these findings.
