Background Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of deaths worldwide. The deficiency of
vitamin D was reported to be associated with the increased susceptibility of tuberculosis …

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between FokI polymorphisms in the
vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and tuberculosis risk. However, the spe cific association …

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 …

Results: Thirty-four studies with a total of 5669 cases and 6525 controls were reviewed in
the present meta-analysis. A statistically significant correlation was found between VDR FokI …

The relationship of four potentially functional polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR)
gene, ApaI, BsmI, FokI and TaqI, with tuberculosis susceptibility were considered. The aim of …

Background Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene Fok I polymorphism have been studied in
relation to tuberculosis (TB) in many populations and provided inconsistent results. In this …

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 …

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is one of the most widely studied genes for the Tuberculosis (TB)
susceptibility. Several studies have been conducted to establish some association between …

Background The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a primary candidate gene for tuberculosis
susceptibility, but results of previous studies are somewhat contradictory and underpowered …

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