Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have examined host and pathogen genetic influences on tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility separately, but relatively few studied their combined effects. However, host-pathogen interactions or co-evolution may explain the inability to replicate many reported human genetic effects across global populations and provide additional insight into TB risk. In this study, we address such possible...
