BACKGROUND: The study of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) polymorphisms, associated with active pulmonary tuberculosis (ATB) presents varying results.
AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the association between VDR rs2228570, rs1544410, rs7975232, rs731236 and MIF -173 G/C (rs755622) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), with susceptibility of developing ATB, and positivity of Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) results (in household contact).
METHODS AND MATERIAL: This study involved 83 ATB and 73 household contacts in Makassar. We checked IGRA based on ELISA in household contacts by using QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus test, and we found that 61.64% (n = 45) of household contacts had positive IGRA. Polymorphism examination was carried out by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS: VDR rs2228570 T/T and T/C-T/T were significantly associated with higher risk of active tuberculosis. VDR rs7975232 G/G genotype was associated with an increased risk of developing active TB compared to T/T-T/G. Haplotype analysis of VDR rs2228570, rs1544410, rs7975232, rs731236 and combination with MIF rs755622 demonstrated that TGGTG was observed to have a higher risk of tuberculosis.
CONCLUSIONS:
The combination of VDR and MIF variants may contribute to the susceptibility of active tuberculosis disease.
