Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND Spinal tuberculosis (STB) is the main cause of bone and joint tuberculosis. This study aimed to screen and analyze the susceptibility genes for STB using whole-exome sequencing (WES). MATERIAL AND METHODS All exon regions of peripheral blood DNA from 6 STB patients were captured and sequenced using WES and the sequencing data were analyzed by modern bioinformatics methods to identify disease-causing...
