Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We studied the association between iron intake and polymorphisms in the iron transporter gene SLC40A1 and the risk of tuberculosis. METHODS: We compared iron intake, the frequency of SLC40A1 mutations, and interactions among these variables among 98 tuberculosis patients and 125 controls in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. RESULTS: Four SLC40A1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with...
