2 We then examine the putative role of iron-related host genes by focussing on two candidate genes, haptoglobin and NRAMP1, for which there are common polymorphic variants in humans with strong evidence of functionally distinct biochemical phenotypes that would be predicted to influence the course of HIV and TB infections.
