Allelic variation in BTNL2 and susceptibility to tuberculosis in a South African population.

Microbes and infection - 1 Apr 2007

Möller Marlo, Kwiatkowski Ruta, Nebel Almut, van Helden Paul D, Hoal Eileen G, Schreiber Stefan

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis and sarcoidosis show phenotypic features of granulomatous disease. The bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis can induce the expression of the sarcoidosis susceptibility gene BTNL2 in monocyte-derived macrophages. BTNL2 was therefore investigated as a candidate gene for tuberculosis in...
