Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and susceptibility to tuberculosis in West Africa: a case-control and family study.

Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and susceptibility to tuberculosis in West Africa: a case-control and family study.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB), but reports have been inconsistent. We genotyped the VDR single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI in 1139 case patients and control subjects and 382 families from The Gam...
