Genetic susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases
The study intended to search for susceptibility genes to mycobacterial diseases. Whole exome sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from patients who had suffered form mycobacterial diseases, either due to poorly virulent mycobacterial species (such as environmental mycobacteria or the BCG vaccine) or the more virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for tuberculosis in humans.
