Abstract excerpt

One third of the earth's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but only 5-10% of the infected individuals will develop active disease over their lifetime. To identify the genes responsible for the variation in the human susceptibility/resistance to tuberculosis (TB) we determined the polymorphisms of three genes crucial for the function of macrophages, in TB patients and healthy controls with no...
