We found a significant association between INT4 and RA (P = 0.004, odds ratio: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.24-3.41), but no significant differences between 5' promoter, D543N, 3'UTR polymorphisms and RA.
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.
We found that rs17235409 (D543N) and rs17235416 (1729 + 55del4) are significantly associated with a risk for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), whereas rs17221959, rs2279015, and rs17235409 are associated with visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Further, significant associations were identified between the 469+14G/C, 1730G/A and 1729+55del4 polymorphisms (rs3731865, rs17235409 and rs17235416, respectively) and both infectious disease per se and tuberculosis.
Alleles rs2276631-C (P = 0.02; OR [95%CI] = 2.11 [1.16-3.86]) and rs2279015-G (P = 0.005; OR [95%CI] = 2.42 [1.33-4.41]) of SLC11A1, were associated with susceptibility to VL, whereas genotypes rs2276631 C/C (P = 0.003; OR [95%CI] = 2.65 [1.41-5.00]) and rs2279015 G/G (P = 0.018; OR [95%CI] = 2.05 [1.15-3.64]) were significantly increased in CL and VL patients, respectively.
Significant associations were observed between the 469+14G/C polymorphism (rs3731865) and autoimmune disease (OR=1.30 (1.04-1.64)) and rheumatoid arthritis (OR=1.60 (1.20-2.13)) and between the -237C/T polymorphism (rs7573065) and inflammatory bowel disease (OR=0.60 (0.43-0.84)).
Two polymorphisms were each significantly associated in the genotypes with visceral leishmaniasis: 823C/T in exon 8 and D543N in exon 15 when comparing visceral leishmaniasis and DTH+ groups.
We analyzed the association of NRAMP1 polymorphisms [(GT)( n ), INT4, 3'UTR and D543N] in 102 Turkish patients with BS and 102 healthy subjects by using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR).
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.

D543N was significantly associated with Buruli ulcer: the odds ratio (adjusted for gender, age, and region of the participant) of the GA genotype versus the GG genotype was 2.89 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.41-5.91).
We found that rs17235409 (D543N) and rs17235416 (1729 + 55del4) are significantly associated with a risk for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), whereas rs17221959, rs2279015, and rs17235409 are associated with visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
