Genome-wide association study of Buruli ulcer in rural Benin

2019-11-15

Abstract excerpt

Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans , is the third mycobacterial disease worldwide characterized by devastating necrotizing skin lesions. The role of host genetics in susceptibility to Buruli ulcer has long been suggested. We conduct the first genome-wide association study of Buruli ulcer on a combined sample of 1,524 well characterized patients and controls from rural Benin. Two-stage analyses identify...
