Background: To investigate the association between TaqI polymorphism of the vitamin D
receptor gene and tuberculosis (TB). Methods: A systematic search was performed in …

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a receptor of vitamin D3, which plays a pivotal role in regulating
cell proliferation and differentiation, lymphocyte activation and cytokine production, and is …

Objectives: Vitamin D has been shown to hamper the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
in macrophages. The actions of vitamin D are exerted through a vitamin D receptor (VDR) …

Objective Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Previous studies
have reported that TB susceptibility can be caused by vitamin D deficiency, which is affected …

Vitamin D Receptor Gene FokI Polymorphism Contributes to Inc... : Medicine Vitamin D Receptor
Gene FokI Polymorphism Contributes to Increasing the Risk of Tuberculosis: An Update …

BACKGROUND: Host genetic susceptibility has been suggested as one of the most
important explanations for inter-individual differences in tuberculosis (TB) risk. The vitamin D …

Objective To provide a quantitative summary in estimating the association between
polymorphisms of 2 loci of FokI and TaqI in vitamin D receptor gene and susceptibility to …

Several case-control studies performed in populations where the incidence of tuberculosis
(TB) is high have examined genetic susceptibility to TB. The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene …

Aim: Vitamin D performs its actions through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), which acts as a
transcriptional factor. Many case–control studies have been performed in the past to …

We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate potential associations between vitamin D
receptor (VDR) genetic variants and tuberculosis (TB). Systematic literature research was …
