Multi-ancestry meta-analysis of host genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis identifies shared genetic architecture
2022-08-30
Abstract excerpt
The heritability of susceptibility to tuberculosis disease (TB) has been well recognized. Over one-hundred genes have been studied as candidates for TB susceptibility, and several variants were identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but few replicate. We established the International Tuberculosis Host Genetics Consortium (ITHGC) to perform a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of GWAS including 14153 cases...
