Inflammatory Biomarkers of Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Tuberculosis

Denis Awany, Dominique T Ariefdien, Simon C. Mendelsohn, Virginie Rozot, Humphrey Mulenga, Sarah Nyangu, Michele D. Tameris, Tumelo Moloantoa, Austin Katona, Fernanda Maruri, Firdows Noor, Ravindre Panchia, Khuthadzo E. Hlongwane, Kim Stanley, Yuri F. van der Heijden, , Petrus Tyambetyuv

This study identifies transcriptomic and proteomic features of asymptomatic tuberculosis, revealing distinct sub-clusters and a new blood signature, but finds weaker diagnostic performance for asymptomatic cases compared to symptomatic ones.

Genome-wide association study in Brazil identifies genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis with single-cell gene effects

Kimberly A. Dill‐McFarland, Bruno B. Andrade, Marina Cruvinel Figueiredo, Alice M S Andrade, Francys Avendaño-Rangel, Marcelo Cordeiro‐Santos, Afrânio Lineu Kritski, Valéria C. Rolla, Juan Manuel Cubillos-Angulo, Spyros A. Kalams, Josh D Simmons, Jared M. Oakes, Jonathan Avila, Helder Imoto Nakaya, Rama Gangula, , Thomas R. Hawn

This study identifies genetic risk factors for tuberculosis in Brazil using GWAS and single-cell transcriptomics, finding SNPs associated with gene expression in multiple cell types.
