Pooled overall analyses suggested that VDR rs1544410(dominant model: P = 0.02; allele model: P = 0.03) and rs731236 (dominant model: P = 0.04; recessive model: P = 0.02; allele model: P = 0.01) variants were significantly associated with TB.
Analyses were conducted to test for main effects of vitamin D status and SNPs in VDR (rs731236, rs2228570 and rs1544410), DBP (rs7041 and rs4588) and CYP2R1 (rs2060793, rs10500804 and rs10766197) on susceptibility to TB, and to investigate whether these SNPs modify the association between vitamin D status and disease susceptibility.
