The frequency distribution of vitamin D Receptor fok I gene polymorphism among Ugandan pulmonary TB patients

2016-07-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is still a major problem globally and especially in Africa. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to TB in the past and studies have found vitamin D deficiency to be common among Ugandan TB patients. The functional activity of vitamin D is dependent on the genotype of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphic genes. Recent findings have indicated that VDR polymor...
