Association of VDR gene polymorphisms and 22 bp deletions in the promoter region of TLR2Δ22 (‐196‐174) with increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis: A case‐control study in tea garden communities of Assam

Abstract: This study has revealed that BsmI and FokI polymorphisms of VDR gene significantly associated with an increased risk of PTB.

“…[9,10,11] Hence, decreased levels of Vit D and/or impaired receptor structure and function might lead to compromised immunity towards the pathogen. [8,10] Genetic polymorphisms in the VDR gene might affect the structure of the VDR protein or cause defects in its regulation or function, which in turn can alter the biological functions of Vitamin D. There are more than 25 VDR polymorphisms in the 5' regulatory region, 3'UTR and other coding regions [18], four being the most relevant among them namely ApaI(intron VIII), BsmI (intron VIII), TaqI (Exon IX) and FokI (Exon II). [17,18], which will be further analysed in the following sections.…”
