Host gene-encoded severe lung TB: from genes to potential pathways
We are reporting that the two-locus genotype -2518 MCP-1 GG -1607 MMP-1 2G/2G promotes the expression of hyper-inflammation in response to M. tuberculosis infection, inducing extensive tissue damage and severe TB disease. Carriers of this two-locus genotype have a 13-fold higher chance of developing...
