Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between SLC11A1 (NRAMP1) rs17235409 (D543N) polymorphisms and susceptibility to spinal tuberculosis (STB) in the Han population in southern China. METHODS: This study included 227 STB patients and 516 controls. Polymorphisms of SLC11A1 rs17235409 were genotyped using a SNPscan™ kit, and the protein was detected by western blotting. RESULTS: The genotype and allele...
