ASSOCIATION OF VITAMIN D RECEPTOR BSMI GENE POLYMORPHISM WITH RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS: A META-ANALYSIS OF 15 STUDIES.

Association of vitamin D receptor BsmI gene polymorphism with risk of tuberculosis: a meta-analysis of 15 studies.

BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in vitamin D receptor (VDR) may contribute to tuberculosis (TB) risk.Many studies have investigated the association between VDR BsmI gene polymorphism and TB risk, but yielded inconclusive results.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of 15 publications with a total of 2309 cases a
