Differentially expressed transcript isoforms associate with resistance to tuberculin skin test and interferon gamma release assay conversion. by Jason D Simmons, R Max Segnitz, Kimberly A Dill-McFarland, Catherine M Stein, Glenna J Peterson, Harriet Mayanja-Kizza, W Henry Boom, Thomas R Hawn

“…Using gene level analytic methods, we previously found distinct monocyte transcriptional responses associated with resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection defined as persistently negative tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) reactivity among highly exposed contacts (RSTR phenotype).<h4>Objective</h4>Using transcript isoform analyses, we aimed to identify novel RSTR-associated genes hypothesizing that previous gene-level differential expression analysis obscures isoform-specific differences that contribute to phenotype.…”
