To determine the association of Nramp1/Slc11a1 with tuberculosis and leprosy, we analyzed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphisms three variants (D543N, 3'UTR and INT4) of Nramp1/Slc11a1 gene in 58 tuberculosis patients (mean age, 34.0 +/- 13.1), 42 leprosy patients (mean age, 35.0 +/- 14.3) and 198 healthy controls (mean age, 32.0 +/- 12.9) from South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
