Abstract excerpt
Recently, a genome-wide screening identified a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism in dual-specificity phosphatase 14 gene (DUSP14), which was associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a West African study. DUSP14 regulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production in a negative way via dephosphorylation and inactivation of key signaling molecules. The aim of this study is to further explore the...
