When Monocytes Derived Macrophages (MDM) from DM2 patients with low VDR expression were supplemented with vitamin D, MDMs eliminate efficiently M. tuberculosis.
In DN patients, the BBFFAATt combination of VDR gene was more frequent than in healthy subjects (P=0,046), and the BbFFAaTt variant was more frequent than in DM2 patients (P=0,018).
