Abstract excerpt
Immune and clinical outcomes to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection vary greatly between individuals, yet the underlying genetic and cellular mechanisms driving this heterogeneity remain poorly understood. We performed a cellular genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with Mtb-induced monocyte transcriptional expression of IL1B, IL6, TNF, and IFNB1 via RNA-Seq in a Ugandan...
