Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease: genetic, immunological, and clinical features of inborn errors of IFN-γ immunity (2014, background): “It also serves as a useful reminder that isolated infectious diseases may be genetically driven [1, 12, 15].”
Who puts the tubercle in tuberculosis? (2007, background): “In this scenario, TB would have been introduced into a subpopulation of mankind after their emergence from Africa and one would have predicted, unless other infectious diseases provided comparable selective pressures on fitness and reproduction, that the current human populations would exhibit extre”
Identifying Relationships among Genomic Disease Regions: Predicting Genes at Pathogenic SNP Associations and Rare Deletions (2009, background): “Individuals with loss of function IL12B mutations have been found with increased susceptibility to Mycobacterium infections [33] and knock out mice have demonstrated increased susceptibility to infection [34,35].”
