Abstract:Background: Autophagy is closely involved in the control of mycobacterial infection. Objectives: Here, a diagnostic model was developed using the levels of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in the blood to differentiate active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Design: Secondary data analysis of three prospective cohorts. Methods: The expression of ARGs in patients with ATB and LTBI were analyzed using the GSE37250, GSE19491, and GSE28623 datasets from the GEO database. Results: Twenty-t… Show more
