Although both signatures clearly demonstrate specificity for the presence of TB, only 16 probes, corresponding to 15 genes, were common to both signatures (TMEM51, APOL6, STAT2, STAT1, LOC653610, GK, DHRS9, TRAFD1, UBE2L6, GBP2, LPCAT2, AK026751, ASPHD2, BRSK1, and FLVCR2). Here, STAT2 is linked to tuberculosis.
