Vitamin D receptor FokI gene polymorphism and tuberculosis susceptibility: a meta-analysis

Y. P. Sun and Cai, Q. S., Vitamin D receptor FokI gene polymorphism and tuberculosis susceptibility: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 6156-6163, 2015.

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and tuberculosis risk. However, the specific association remains controversial. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between the VDR gene FokI polymorphism and tuberculosis. Published studies from the PubMed and Embase databases were retrieved. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using fixed- or random-effect models.
