Human slc11a1 Gene Polymorphism Has the Propensity to Confer Susceptibility to M. Africanum TB Disease in Ghana

2020-08-18

Abstract excerpt

Human tuberculosis (TB) is caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and M. africanum (MAF) remains a major global health threat. The varying response of different host to contact with the TB bacteria, indicates the importance of host genetics in susceptibility to TB disease. We explored the association among selected human/host genomic variants and disease caused by the two causative pathogens in Ghana th...
