A Common NLRC4 Gene Variant Associates With Inflammation and Pulmonary Function in Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Tuberculosis
27 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inflammasomes mediate inflammation in adults living with both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB), but the relevance of inflammasome gene polymorphisms in TB-associated pulmonary damage is unknown. We hypothesized that functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammasome pathway genes modify systemic and pulmonary inflammation, contributing to respiratory impairment...
