Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with limitations in current diagnostics prompting interest in host-derived biomarkers. This study evaluated the role of ASAP1, a regulator of actin cytoskeleton remodeling and dendritic cell migration, as a genetic and molecular biomarker for TB. A case–control cohort comprising 164 TB patients and 85 healthy controls was analyzed for two...
