چکیده

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of three polymorphisms (D543N, TGTG deletion in 3' UTR, INT4 G/C) of NRAMP1 to susceptibility to lung tuberculosis (TB) disease. The results showed that homozygous TGTG deletion in 3'UTR of NRAMP1 was found more frequent in lung tuberculosis patients than in healthy nurses working in a TB ward. This 4 base deletion might cause malfunction of NRAMP1 protein so that it fails as Fe2+ ion transporter causing macrophage unable to eliminate Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Effectiveness of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine in an Indonesian population with D543N NRAMP1 polymorphism.

INTRODUCTION Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination remains a routine immunization in primary care in tuberculosis (TB)-endemic areas, though several studies found that its efficacy was inconclusive. Natural resistance-asociated machrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) polymorphism has been shown to result in higher susceptibility to TB. Information on genetic susceptibility in populations will be use...

Polymorphisms of the NRAMP1 gene: Distribution and susceptibility to the development of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Greek population

BACKGROUND Ample evidence suggests that host genetic factors affect human susceptibility to tuberculosis. The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) gene seems to play a role in the pathophysiology of a number of intracellular infections, including mycobacteria. A case-control study was conducted in the Greek population to determine whether NRAMP1 polymorphisms affect the s...

NRAMP1 and VDR Gene Polymorphisms in Susceptibility to Tuberculosis in Venezuelan Population

Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (Nramp1) and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are central components of the innate and adaptive immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and associations between susceptibility to tuberculosis and polymorphisms in the genes NRAMP and VDR have been sought in geographically diverse populations. We investigated associations of NRAMP1 and VDR gene po...

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype strains is associated with polymorphisms in SLC11A1/NRAMP1 in Indonesian patients with tuberculosis.

Differences in host immune genes may predispose to tuberculosis caused by particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes. We examined this hypothesis in Indonesia by spoligotyping M. tuberculosis isolates recovered from 336 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and typing the patients' SLC11A1 gene (formerly known as "NRAMP1"), which is involved in susceptibility to tuberculosis. The M. tubercu...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of NRAMP1 -3'UTR, 274-CT,VDR- Fok1 VDR-Taq1 Polymorphisms with the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. METHOD A case -control study was conducted on Andhra Pradesh Population of India. Analysis of gene polymorphisms of NRAMP1 gene (3'UTR, 274CT) and VDR gene (Fok1 and Taq1) was done by using Polymerase chain reaction-restrict...
