INTRODUCTION Cervical cancer cases are ris ing and many women are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). Interferon gamma (IFN-a) is one of the key regulatory cytokines that influence the HPV clearance. The production and the function of 1 FN-a may impaired by the defect of the IFNG gene leading to the cervical malignant progression. This study aimed to examine the association between IF.I…
Background: Natural resistance associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) is a proton/ divalent cation transporter which play a roll in iron trafficking in the phagosomes. Variations in NRAMP1 gene have been reported to be associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) because Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb), the causative agent of TB, compete with its host to uptake iron for its metabolism. T…
Tuberculosis (TB) is a infection disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis itself is not the only factor ofTB. Polymorphism of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is important on the susceptibility of TB. The aim was to find out the role of Fokl, Bsml, Apal, and TaqI VDR gene polymorphism on child TB. The observational analytic study with case control design was done in…
