Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare(MAI) pulmonary disease causes substantial morbidity in a population of older, HIV-negative women without preexisting lung disease. The cause for disease susceptibility in these patients is unknown, although their relative phenotypic homogeneity suggests the existence of a common, subtle immune deficiency. An investigation was undertaken to determine if these patients have a defect in their natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP1) or interferon γ receptor 1 (IFN- γ R1) genes. A point mutation in murinenramp, an autosomal recessive gene controlling resistance to intracellular organisms, correlates with overwhelmingMycobacterium bovisinfection in mice. The corresponding region in humanNRAMP1, two coding polymorphisms and one promoterNRAMP1polymorphism, as well as twoIFN- γ R1polymorphisms, were analyzed to determine if an allele was present to correlate with disease. Genomic DNA was purified from eight women with MAI pulmonary disease and four controls. Regions of interest were amplified by PCR; three sites were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphisms, and three were analyzed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography. TheNRAMP1promoter polymorphism of 18 additional random controls was analyzed by microsatellite sizing. No allelism was found inNRAMP1corresponding to the murine mutation, or in the two coding regions. In theNRAMP1promoter microsatellite, 3 of 8 patients were heterozygous for a dinucleotide sequence insertion, as were 10 of 22 controls. None of the patients had either of the two knownIFN- γ R1mutations. In conclusion, in women with MAI pulmonary disease, there is no evidence for a genetic defect inNRAMP1orIFN- γ R1to correlate with disease.
