Another study examined polymorphisms in NRAMP -INT4, MBL genes (codons 52, 54, and 57) and CD14 -159C/T in patients with tuberculosis in the Caucasian population from Poland, and although it has not obtained statistically significant results, suggested the involvement of CD14 and MBL molecules in the host–mycobacteria interactions on the basis of the significant increase in the serum CD14 and MBL in patients with tuberculosis (100). The gene discussed is CD14; the disease is tuberculosis.
