Global distribution of a novel trinucleotide microsatellite polymorphism (ATA)n in intron 8 of the SLC11A1 gene and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis.

International journal of immunogenetics - 1 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

We identified a novel trinucleotide (ATA)n repeat polymorphism in intron 8 of SLC11AI, a candidate gene for susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) infection. We characterized the frequency of this polymorphism in 485 individuals originating from eight globally diverse human populations and compared the distribution of (ATA)n alleles in 146 adults and in 80 cord blood samples from newborns in the Gambian population....
