Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second commonest cause of death from infectious disease after HIV/AIDS worldwide. Association studies have revealed that host genetic factors, such as human leukocyte antigen and solute carrier family 11 member A1 (NRAMP1), play roles in susceptibility to TB. To identify host genetic factors involved in the susceptibility to TB in Japanese, we performed a gene-based association analysis...
