Abstract excerpt
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is a chronic progressive lung disease that is increasing in incidence. Host genetic factors are associated with NTM-PD susceptibility. However, the heritability of NTM-PD is not well understood. Here, we perform a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) and discover a susceptibility locus at 16p21 associated with NTM-PD, especially with pulmonary...
