Association of HLA-DR, -DQ, and vitamin D receptor alleles and haplotypes with tuberculosis in the Venda of South Africa.

Human immunology - 1 Aug 2006

Lombard Zane, Dalton Desiré-Lee, Venter Philip A, Williams Robert C, Bornman Liza

Abstract excerpt

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II complex affect innate and/or adaptive immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, and VDR gene (VDR) polymorphisms were previously associated with tuberculosis (TB) and are here investigated as candidates for TB susceptibility in the Venda population of South Africa. Genomic DNA from 95 patients with pulmonary...
