Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern, particularly in Morocco. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway, activated by interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), plays a crucial role in the immune response against intracellular mycobacteria. However, pathogenic variants in the STAT1 gene can lead to either impaired or dysregulated signaling, affecting host defense mechanisms. In this study, we investigated 245 patients...
