Gene-gene interaction between tuberculosis candidate genes in a South African population.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society - 1 Feb 2011

de Wit Erika, van der Merwe Lize, van Helden Paul D, Hoal Eileen G

Abstract excerpt

In a complex disease such as tuberculosis (TB) it is increasingly evident that gene-gene interactions play a far more important role in an individual's susceptibility to develop the disease than single polymorphisms on their own, as one gene can enhance or hinder the expression of another gene. Gene-gene interaction analysis is a new approach to elucidate susceptibility to TB. The possibility of gene-gene...
