Abstract excerpt
To find out whether non-HLA genes such as vitamin D receptor (VDR) and Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) are associated with the susceptibility or resistance to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), genotyping of VDR, and IL-1RA genes was carried out in PTB patients (n = 202) and control subjects (n = 109). No marked difference in the frequency of the variant VDR genotypes was seen between the PTB patients as a...
