Our results suggest that no significant difference was found for NRAMP1 and hGPX1 gene polymorphisms associated with recurrence time, muscle invasion frequency and disease-free survival, nevertheless, we observed that the NRAMP1 D543N GG genotype group had a shorter time to tumor recurrence.
In conclusion, our data suggest that TLR4 (D299G and T399I) and TNF (-308G/A) genetic polymorphisms may influence the risk of developing tuberculosis after exposure to Mycobacterium.

Collectively, our results suggest an association of NRAMP1 3'-UTR and D543N polymorphisms with susceptibility to mycobacterial infection in Tunisian populations in relation to age and sex.
We investigated the association between SA and four polymorphisms of the SLC11A1 gene, including a single nucleotide change in intron 4 (INT4); a nonconservative single-base substitution at codon 543 (D543N); a TGTG deletion in the 3' untranslated region; and the functional (GT)(n) repeat polymorphism in the 5' region, in 95 Turkish SA patients and 150 healthy controls, by using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing.
The distribution of 3'-UTR and D543N polymorphisms in 223 TB patients (168 patients with pulmonary TB (PTB) and 55 patients with extrapulmonary TB (EPTB)) and 150 healthy donors was determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method.
We observed that the T allele of rs2279014 in the 3' untranslated region was associated with protection from MAC disease when comparing allele frequencies with an odds ratio of 0.582 (95% confidence interval 0.379-0.894, p = 0.013).
We analysed four NRAMP1 gene polymorphisms including 5' promoter (GT)(n) (rs34448891), INT4 (469 + 14G/C) (rs3731865), 3'UTR (1729 + 55del4) (rs17235416) and D543N (codon 543, Asp to Asn) (rs17235409) in 112 patients with TB, 98 patients with RA, 80 healthy controls for TB and 122 healthy controls for RA using ARMS-PCR and PCR-RFLP.

Multilocus analyses between polymorphisms in SLC11A1 and 11 TB candidate genes detected interactions between SLC11A1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2A) in Caucasians (rs3731863 [SLC11A1] x rs8073782 [NOS2A], P = 0.009; rs3731863 [SLC11A1] x rs17722851 [NOS2A], P = 0.007) and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in African-Americans (rs3731865 [SLC11A1] x rs1816702, P = 0.005).
