Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases that is still a health problem of the world, especially in developing countries. The polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) by some studies may affect the workings of vitamin D. The polymorphism of this receptor gene causes a person to become more susceptible to M. tuberculosis infection. This study aimed to determine polymorphism of Vitamin D Fok1 Receptor Gene in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis of Batak Ethnic. A total of 42 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were examined for vitamin D Fok1 receptor gene with PCR-RFLP and analyzed by electrophoresis and the level of vitamin D was examined by ELISA. The results showed that 26 patients had Ff genotype (61,9%), 14 patients have FF genotype (33,3%), and two patients had ff genotype (4,8%). The most common level of Vitamin D in FF genotype was optimal (64,3%), in Ff genotype was optimal (53,8%), and ff genotype had the same percentatage of optimal and insufficiency level. Conclusion: Based on this research, the most common polymorphism of vitamin D Fok1 receptor gene in Batak ethnic is Ff genotype.
