摘      要：OBJECTIVE A previous meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between variations in NRAMP1 and tuberculosis(TB) risk, but its limitations were that it did not report genotype comparative results,and not discuss the association with extra-pulmonary TB(EPTB).So, we carried out an updated meta-analysis to further investigate the association between NRAMP1 and TB susceptibility.
