Toward universal screening for disease-causing alleles: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease as a model. A Perspective by Farida Almarzooqi and Ahmed Aziz Bousfiha: rupress.org/jhi/article/...
#Mycobacteria #Tuberculosis #TB
In this @jhumimmunity.org Perspective, Farida Almarzooqi & Ahmed Aziz Bousfiha propose universal genomic screening as a life-course strategy, using Mendelian susceptibility to #mycobacteria as a model to demonstrate feasibility in high-consanguinity populations
