NRAMP1 and VDR gene polymorphisms have been variably associated with susceptibility
to tuberculosis (TB) amongst populations having different genetic background. NRAMP1 …

SETTING: National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. OBJECTIVE: To study the
variations in the NRAMP1 gene using five genotypes (274C/T, 577-18G/A, A318V, D543N …

Natural resistance‐associated macrophage protein (Nramp1) and the vitamin D receptor
(VDR) are central components of the innate and adaptive immunity against Mycobacterium …

BACKGROUND: Studies that have assessed NRAMP1 polymorphisms and their association
with susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) in humans have yielded conflicting results. In this …

SETTING: Houston Tuberculosis Initiative (HTI) and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston,
Texas. OBJECTIVE: To further explore the association between the polymorphisms of …

The association of natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1)
polymorphisms (D543N, INT4) with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk have been widely …

Background Genetic factors may affect the susceptibility to tuberculosis, but no specific
genes governing susceptibility have been identified. In mice, natural resistance to infection …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and natural-
resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) gene polymorphisms in …

Objective To determine whether 3'UTR polymorphisms of the NRAMP1 gene are as-
sociated with tuberculosis in Uighurs. Methods 3'UTR polymorphisms of NRAMP1 gene …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The human homologue of mice natural-resistance-associated
macrophage protein 1 (Nramp 1) gene, NRAMP 1, has been reported to play a role in …
