Abstract
IL-17F single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) can affect IL-17F expression and activity and this can lead to the increased susceptibility to several autoimmune diseases. The aim was to investigate the association of IL-17F (rs763780) SNP with the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a cohort of Egyptian patients and to evaluate the effect of this polymorphism on the disease course. IL-17F (rs763780) gene polymorphisms was typed by TaqMan genotyping assay for 231 Egyptians divided into 102 MS patients and 129 healthy controls with matched age and sex. The IL-17F rs763780 C containing genotypes (CT+CC) and C allele have statistically significant increased frequency in MS patients when compared with controls (p = 0.005 and 0.004 respectively) especially in females' patients (p = 0.005 and 0.006 respectively). The heterozygous CT genotype was associated with the presence of optic neuritis (p = 0.038). The multivariable regression analysis revealed significant associations between smoking, the higher frequency of attacks and the prediction of higher EDSS score (p = 0.032, 0.049 respectively). It can be concluded that the IL-17F rs763780 C containing genotypes (CT and CC) and C allele may be risk factors for the development of MS in the studied Egyptian cohort by a gender-dependent mechanism that contributes to tendency for predisposition in females and optic neuritis is more common in patients carrying the CT heterozygous genotype.

Abstract
The "Lübeck disaster", twins studies, adoptees studies, and other epidemiological observational studies have shown that host genetic factors play a significant role in determining the host susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and pathogenesis of tuberculosis. From linkage analyses to genome-wide association studies, it has been discovered that human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genes as well as non-HLA genes (such as SLC11A1, VDR, ASAP1 as well as genes encoding cytokines and pattern recognition receptors) are associated with tuberculosis susceptibility. To provide ideas for subsequent studies about risk prediction of MTB infection and the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, we review the research progress on tuberculosis susceptibility related genes in recent years, focusing on the correlation of HLA genes and non-HLA genes with the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. We also report the results of an enrichment analysis of the genes mentioned in the article. Most of these genes appear to be involved in the regulation of immune system and inflammation, and are also closely related to autoimmune diseases.

Using population-specific add-on polymorphisms to improve genotype imputation in underrepresented populations. PLoS Comput Biol 2022; 18:e1009628.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies rely on the statistical inference of untyped variants, called imputation, to increase the coverage of genotyping arrays. However, the results are often suboptimal in populations underrepresented in existing reference panels and array designs, since the selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may fail to capture population-specific haplotype structures, hence the full extent of common genetic variation. Here, we propose to sequence the full genomes of a small subset of an underrepresented study cohort to inform the selection of population-specific add-on tag SNPs and to generate an internal population-specific imputation reference panel, such that the remaining array-genotyped cohort could be more accurately imputed. Using a Tanzania-based cohort as a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the validity of our approach by showing improvements in imputation accuracy after the addition of our designed add-on tags to the base H3Africa array. Genome-wide association studies, which study the association between genetic variants and various phenotypes, typically rely on genotyping arrays. Only a small proportion of genetic variants within the genome are typed on genotyping arrays. Untyped variants are statistically inferred through a process known as genotype imputation, where correlations between variants (haplotypes) observed in external reference panels are leveraged to infer untyped variants in the study population. However, for study populations that are underrepresented in existing reference panels, the quality of imputation is often sub-optimal. This is because typed variants incorporated on existing genotyping arrays can be unsuitable for the study population, and haplotype structures can be different between the reference and the study population. Here, we illustrate an approach to select a custom set of population-specific typed variants to improve genotype imputation in such underrepresented populations.

Abstract
Genetic and immune factors play an important role in tuberculosis. Under different ethnicities and genetic backgrounds, different immune and inflammation-related gene polymorphisms may confer different susceptibility to tuberculosis. This study investigated the relationship between immune and inflammation-related gene polymorphism and susceptibility to tuberculosis in Xinjiang Uyghur population, China. In this case-control study, we enrolled 507 pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 454 healthy controls from Southern Xinjiang. single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was performed. The 12 SNPs of nine immune and inflammation-related genes (including TNF rs361525, IL6 rs2066992 and rs1524107, IL17A rs3748067, IL17F rs763780, VDR rs731236, rs2228570 and rs1544410, IFNGR1 rs1327474, P2RX7 rs3751143, CTAGE1 rs4331426 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) rs4986790) and their relationship with tuberculosis were evaluated. The T allele and TT genotype of IL-6 rs2066992 and rs1524107 increased the risk of active tuberculosis. The C allele of IFNGR1 rs1327474 was related to the reduced risk of tuberculosis in the Xinjiang Uyghur population. The G allele and AG/GG genotypes of TLR4 rs4986790 were associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis (p < .05). Furthermore, haplotype analysis found that the haplotype TT of interleukin (IL)-6 was a risk factor, whereas the CG type was a protective factor for active tuberculosis in the Xinjiang Uyghur population. There were three immune and inflammation-related genes (IL-6, IFNGR1 and TLR4) and a total of four SNPs (rs2066992, rs1524107, rs1327474 and rs4986790) related to the susceptibility of the Uyghur population to tuberculosis. Our findings may provide evidence for further understanding the mechanism of tuberculosis susceptibility in the Xinjiang Uyghur population.

Abstract
Neutrophils infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) predominate in tuberculosis patients' lungs. Neutrophils phagocytose the pathogen, but the mechanism of pathogen elimination is controversial. Macroautophagy/autophagy, a crucial mechanism for several neutrophil functions, can be modulated by immunological mediators. The costimulatory molecule SLAMF1 can act as a microbial sensor in macrophages being also able to interact with autophagy-related proteins. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that human neutrophils express SLAMF1 upon Mtb-stimulation. Furthermore, SLAMF1 was found colocalizing with LC3B+ vesicles, and activation of SLAMF1 increased neutrophil autophagy induced by Mtb. Finally, tuberculosis patients' neutrophils displayed reduced levels of SLAMF1 and lower levels of autophagy against Mtb as compared to healthy controls. Altogether, these results indicate that SLAMF1 participates in neutrophil autophagy during active tuberculosis.Abbreviations: AFB: acid-fast bacilli; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; CLL: chronic lymphocytic leukemia; DPI: diphenyleneiodonium; EVs: extracellular vesicles; FBS: fetal bovine serum; HD: healthy donors; HR: high responder (tuberculosis patient); IFNG: interferon gamma; IL1B: interleukin 1 beta; IL17A: interleukin 17A; IL8: interleukin 8; LR: low responder (tuberculosis patient); mAb: monoclonal antibody; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MAPK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; MAPK1/ERK2: mitogen-activated protein kinase 1; MAPK14/p38: mitogen-activated protein kinase 14; Mtb: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Mtb-Ag: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Strain H37Rv, whole cell lysate; NETs: neutrophils extracellular traps; PPD: purified protein derivative; ROS: reactive oxygen species; PIK3C3/VPS34: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; SLAMF1: signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1; TB: tuberculosis; TLR: toll like receptor.

Abstract
The relationship between the interleukin-17F (IL-17F) rs763780 polymorphism and tuberculosis (TB) has been a source of debate. The potential association between the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism and TB was investigated using a meta-analysis of case-control studies, which were obtained using the EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Heterogeneity across studies was evaluated, and summary odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were computed to estimate a summary effect size using either a fixed-effects or random-effects model. Eight eligible studies comprising nine comparisons for the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism (3824 cases and 3787 controls) were obtained for this meta-analysis. Although a significant relationship between IL-17F rs763780 and TB susceptibility was observed using the allele genetic model (odds ratio = 1.34, 95% confidence interval = 1.04-1.74), there was high heterogeneity among the studies (I2 = 79%, P=0.0001). The stratified analyses by race, type of tuberculosis, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium suggested that the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism was not associated with risk of pulmonary tuberculosis and the heterogeneity disappeared. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the main cause of the heterogeneity. No evidence was found through this meta-analysis that suggested an association between the IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism and risk of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple lines of evidence support a role of the host genetic component in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease progression. However, genomic studies of tuberculosis susceptibility have been disappointing compared with that of other complex disorders. Recently the field has explored alternative strategies to facilitate locus discovery. Results emanating from these efforts during the last 18 months are addressed in this review. RECENT FINDINGS There has been a renewed focus on the refinement of phenotypic definitions of infection and disease as well as on age-related, sex-specific and population-specific effects. Genome-wide association studies have yielded candidate genes but the findings have not always been transferable to all population groups. Candidate gene association studies remain popular as it is used for GWAS replication and is affordable, particularly in lower and middle-income countries. Pharmacogenetic studies involving tuberculosis drugs may locate variants that can be cost-effectively genotyped to identify individuals at risk of developing adverse events during treatment. SUMMARY Additional GWAS and candidate gene association studies of crudely defined study participants are unlikely to make further important contributions to the TB susceptibility field. Instead refined phenotyping will allow the elucidation of genetic mechanisms contributing to infection and disease in distinct populations and the calculation of polygenic risk scores.
