['Korea University and the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis, Seoul, Korea.', "To determine whether polymorphisms in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the NRAMP1 gene are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis in Koreans.", "A case-control study design was used to compare the frequency of 3'UTR of NRAMP1 among 192 tuberculosis patients and 192 healthy individuals. All of the samples were diagnosed by X-ray, smear and culture tests between 1998 and 1999 in the Cross of Lorraine Clinic at the Korean Institute of Tuberculosis.", "A significant association was found between the Korean tuberculosis patients and polymorphisms in the 3'UTR of the NRAMP1 gene (odds ratio [OR] 1.845; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.097-3.104; chi2 = 5.424; P = 0.020)."] Do 3'UTR polymorphisms in the NRAMP1 gene are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis in Koreans?
