Abstract excerpt
SETTING: Despite efforts at disease control, the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) remains high in India. OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of VDR and SLC11A1 gene polymorphisms in the development of pulmonary TB (PTB) in an ethnically matched population of India. DESIGN: In this case-control study, five variants (INT4/ rs3731865, 823C/T/rs17221959, D543N/rs17235409, 577G/A/rs1059823 and TGTG deletion-3UTR/rs172 35416)...
