Genome-wide association study identifies two risk loci for tuberculosis in Han Chinese Genome-wide association study identifies two risk loci for tuberculosis in Han Chinese, Published online: 04 October 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-06539-w Genetic risk loci for tuberculosis (TB) have so far been identified in African and Russian populations.
