Association of NRAMP 1 Gene Polymorphism with Susceptibility to Tuberculosis in Taiwanese Aboriginals
The human homologue of mice natural-resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp 1) gene, NRAMP 1, has been reported to play a role in susceptibility to tuberculosis in humans. The aboriginal population in Taiwan has a five-fold higher prevalence of tuberculosis than people of Han ethnicity. Wh...
