Vitamin D binding protein gene polymorphisms in Ugandan tuberculosis patients and household contacts: A pilot study

2025-02-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Tuberculosis remains a significant global public health concern. Genetic variants influence the distribution of vitamin D in circulation, leading to vitamin D deficiency. The two extensively studied non-synonymous D-binding protein nucleotide polymorphisms rs7041 and rs4588 were found in different populations. This study aimedto compare the frequency distribution of vitamin D binding protein...
