Early progression to active tuberculosis is a highly heritable trait driven by 3q23 in Peruvians

Between 5 and 15% of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections develop into active tuberculosis (TB). Here, Luo et al. report a genome-wide association study for early TB progression in a total of 4002 active TB cases and their household contacts in Peru and they identify a locus on 3q23 in which...

Sumario:Between 5 and 15% of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections develop into active tuberculosis (TB). Here, Luo et al. report a genome-wide association study for early TB progression in a total of 4002 active TB cases and their household contacts in Peru and they identify a locus on 3q23 in which ATP1B3 is mapped as the likely causal gene.
