چکیده
Backgrounds: There is a wide range of individual responses to mycobacterium infection. However, the reason why certain people suffers from disease when they are infected with while others remain healthy still unknown. Genetic susceptibility thought be one important explanatory factors for individuals risk developing pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). FokI polymorphism was genetic variations within vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene associated TB. In present study, we investigated association between VDR and Conclusion: no significant

Is there any association between a vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (FokI) and pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease of the skin and mucous membranes caused by activation and proliferation of T cells, production of Th2 cytokine profile and pathogenic antibodies. Vitamin D is a probable immunodeviator to Th2, which its actions are mediated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). FokI is the only single nucleot...
متن کاملAssociation between Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of Vitamin D Receptor Gene FokI Polymorphism and Clinical Progress of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and clinical progress of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Chinese men. METHODS The DNA was extracted from blood of 200 BPH patients with operation (progression group) and 200 patients without operation (control group), respectively. The genotype...
متن کاملAssociation between the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and osteoporosis.
The influence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene for the risk of osteoporosis remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to understand the distribution of various single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the VDR gene and its association with the risk of osteoporosis. In total, 378 subjects without a genetic relationship were recruited to the study between January 2013 and...
متن کاملVitamin D Receptor Gene FokI Polymorphism Contributes to Increasing the Risk of Tuberculosis
The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) FokI polymorphism and tuberculosis (TB) risk remains a matter of debate. Potential selection bias exists in most studies using HIV-positive TB patients.An update meta-analysis was carried out to derive a more reliable assessment of the association between FokI polymorphisms and TB risk, especially in HIV-negative TB patients. All major databases ...
متن کاملAssociation between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin D(3) is known to be involved in neuroprotection and exert its neuroprotective effects by modulating neuronal calcium homeostasis and production of neurotrophins. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene which can influence the affinity of vitamin D(3) to its receptor may be related to neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal damage by altering the vitami...
